We probably all know the story. It may be apocryphal, but it sets our scene, and there are many similar examples. A mother sees her child run over by a car. Driven by her love, and her visceral drive to protect the infant, she rushes to the scene and, exercising strength far beyond what we should expect, seizes the bumper and lifts the vehicle off her child, thereby saving her from death or permanent disability. It’s a high bar to reach, but it symbolises the power of action driven by concern for those closest to us. Graphically, it demonstrates the extra dimension that the ‘kindness’ inherent in kinship and the willingness and ability to apply oneself to the service of the other can bring to a situation of risk and vulnerability. It says that kindness moves mountains.
