"His eye gleams black; He is compassion's sea;
Within He dwells, He melts the soul,

Tears of undying bliss gives He,

God is simple. Everything else is complicate. If you think I am refering to a particular religion or god then you are making it too complicated.
The Tennison Window.
The large stained glass window in the north east corner of the North Aisle was designed and made by Gordon Webster and given in 1968 by Elisabeth Tenison in memory of her parents and her husband. Its theme is the Compassion of Christ. The four central lights, each divided into three sections, illustrate a separate aspect of our Lord's compassion. The light to the left portrays Christ's compassion to the individual and shows, from the bottom, Mary Magdalene, Peter, and the two blind men. The light next to it shows compassion in general, with Christ the Good Shepherd at the bottom, the weeping over Jerusalem next and, at the top, the feeding of the five thousand. Our Lord's compassion through his parables is illustrated in the easternmost light, showing, from the bottom, the thristy being given drink, the return of the prodigal son and the good Samaritan. Next to it is illustrated compassion through the Cross, beginning at the bottom with Gethsemane, and in the centre Christ carrying the Cross, culminating with Christ crucified at the top.

The Tennison Window
This window at the east end of the north nave aisle was designed in 1968 by Scottish stained glass artist Gordon Webster.
Its theme is the compassion of Christ, and it was given by Elisabeth Tennison in memory of her husband and parents. The Biblical scenes demonstrate Jesus’ concern for individuals and large gatherings, and display his compassion through the cross and through parables.
From left to right:-
1. Mary Magdalene; Peter; the two blind men.
2. Christ the Good Shepherd; Jesus weeps over Jerusalem; the feeding of the 5000.
3. Gethsemane; Christ carrying the cross; Christ crucified.
4. The thirsty given drink; the prodigal sone; the good Samaritan.
Gordon Webster was the son of one of Scotland’s best-know stained glass artists, Alf Webster. Alf was killed in the First World War in 1915, when Gordon was just 6 year old. As an adult Gordon inherited his father’s studio, which his mother had kept in operation. His work was initially heavily influenced by his father, but he gradually developed his own style. He was highly regarded by the Church of Scotland and produced many windows for churches across the land.

Appears to somehow sum up the day. Charter for Compassion Institute course publicity makes the point... "The skills that contribute to the various components of Emotional Intelligence may be viewed as pre-requisites to the development of compassion--in individuals, in families, in the workplace, in communities, and in the interconnected societies of people throughout the world."
16.10.2015. Friday: twm calls for early morning coffee. Cool morning reaches heady heights of 10/11C. Some light drizzle around early afternoon... on the dismal side with highlights provided by the cumulo congestus appearing amidst the cumolo stratus clouds. Some real towering cumlus spotted over the past few days. Potential compromise of computer this afternoon. Change critical passwords (fast on separate computer) and ensure antivirus updates (try AVG pro - 1 month free). Scan identifies adware and trojan. Appears clear.
I came across a fine horse 'spoiling' ms mcgonnigal's favoured dandelion patch earlier in the year... a skewbald with fetlocks and everything else. They seemed to get on well. There was no bully about him and they touched noses. It was I... the human who was the one perturped about the secret dandelion stocks. So came across a poem from Radio 4 Poetry Day. It dwells upon the rawness of rural neighbours (not unlike as "The Field" and a long-remembered French film (google prompts me it was Jean de Florette. Featured a dispute over a water source). Not claustrophobic as the hideous small town scenarios in every small town. So here it is...
EPIC by PATRICK KAVANAGH, 1938
I have lived in important places, times
When great events were decided : who owned
That half a rood of rock, a no-man's land
Surrounded by our pitchfork-armed claims.
I heard the Duffys shouting "Damn your soul"
And old McCabe stripped to the waist, seen
Step the plot defying blue cast-steel -
"Here is the march along these iron stones."
That was the year of the Munich bother. Which
Was most important ? I inclined
To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin
Till Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind.
He said : I made the Iliad from such
A local row. Gods make their own importance.

Dictionary: The human quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it.
Compassion comes from the heart. Whether giving or receiving, it creates an energetic bond, almost barrier like, which helps carry the giver and receiver through the door of heartache.

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - BJ Wasmund
"Compassion", one of our home's abstracts, made a subject for my amateurish attempt on composites. Just learned it this afternoon before going out to dinner, taught by rein.
