"In order to have compassion for others, we have to have compassion for
ourselves. In particular, to care about other people who are fearful,
angry, jealous, overpowered by addictions of all kinds, arrogant, proud,
miserly, selfish, mean- you name it- to have compassion and to care for these
people, means not to run from the pain of finding these things in ourselves."

Beautiful. Beautiful picture with a water-like heart, too. Serenity. Soft and clear in hands poised for the feelings of inner peace in a pond holding a Source of Life on Earth that swiftly runs and slowly flows over stones and rocks easily as pure air.

this is such a true say. To have compasssion on others you must look in yourself for the weakness that attracts the weakness of others. By helping them to heal, I help my Soul to heal as well. Thank you for embrassing such powerful truth.
