What public or community acts of kindness have you seen recently?
My friend sent me a photo of a wellbeing sign he saw at Reading West station. He said he thought it was nice because “train stations can be sad places if you’re in a bad place”
The sign, titled “writing for wellbeing” reads:
“Take a moment to look out over the railing.
Observe the colours and shapes you see in nature.
Inhale. What can you smell?
Listen to the sounds around you. Can you hear a train coming? Are birds chirruping?
Become aware of the air on your skin.
Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly.
Allow yourself to slow down and notice the world around you.

The colour of nature is…
The smell of nature is…
The texture of nature is…
The taste of nature is…
The weight of nature is…
This is what nature means to me…
