Refracting the Light of Awareness
Each artist is a facet of God's unfolding infinite vision,
refracting the light of awareness in his or her own particular way.
- Alex Grey
How are you shining the light
of your awareness into the world?
And if you're hiding your light,
then the question is
(as Dr. Phil would say)
"How's that workin' for ya?"
of your awareness into the world?
And if you're hiding your light,
then the question is
(as Dr. Phil would say)
"How's that workin' for ya?"

Yep, it's so true what you said about tacking the "nice" descriptive on someone when we have nothing more exciting to say about them (especially when setting up blind dates). But "Nice" IS a good thing that's gotten a bad rap because people confuse it with being spineless or sappy.
Your post reminds me of a little song we used to sing at Sunday School - another life time ago ...
Jesus bids us shine
like a pure clear light
Like a little candle
shining in the night
in this world of darkness
so we can shine
you in your small corner
and I in mine....
Funny how these things stay with you...
The song is born out of the 'don't hide your light under a bushel' bible passage but I think in the big scheme of things we can read it in just the way that you are suggesting.
We can shine our light through our intellectual, artistic, humanistic, philanthropic...whatever endeavours
but on a day to day basis I think we shine just as brightly and most effectively, through the very simple medium of Kindness.
Happy Days
