"The dew of compassion is a tear."
_Lord Byron_
This weekend I explored Hearty Creek in the Twin Sisters Range in NW Washington. The creek has at least seven waterfalls along its course and they are perhaps the most beautiful and diverse collection of waterfalls I've seen on one creek. Each waterfall has a different look and feel to it, but they are all great.
Compassion Falls is the 2nd of the seven waterfalls and the second tallest as well. Hearty Creek plunges 65' before cascading for an additional 21'. When the volume is lower, this 65' drop is one plunging segment, but when the creek is running higher water drops over the cliff in several places.
By the grace of compassion
May ice melt
May the water of the mountains
become bright clouds in blue skys
May the spirit of compassion warm your heart
Lifting you higher and higher
Leaving all waepons behind…
By the grace of compassion

On a trip out of Yangon in Burma/Myanmar, we happened to come across this lovely cemetery, seemingly in the middle of nowhere but not far from the town of Twante.
We were struck by two things – the extraordinary tranquillity of the place, and the fact that all the tombs bore an identical Buddha image, in a state of compassion. A smiling image, as well – which helped create a feeling of wellbeing as well as peace.
More images of an unforgettable holiday are here, when democracy in Burma was alive and well, and times were good.

This is the new Silicon Valley Compassion Center, a non-profit focused on teaching social skills to wealthy tech executives.
During my first chemo session a young volunteer came around giving patients hand massages. A sweet gesture and very comforting.

2013-12-30: Snow Leopards Genghis and Tomiris, the snow leopard pair at the Milwaukee County Zoo, snuggle with each other this cold Christmas day. I rarely have ever seen these two be in so close with each other. Though I'm sure that they were avoiding the snow (say wha?) and relaxed upon the heated rock in their outdoor exhibit. I've been told the zoo would like to see these two pair up and have a cub but in speaking with other zoo visitors I'm learning more that it'll be unlikely. Stranger things have happened I suppose.
I may or may not post another photo for end of the year so just in case I hope everyone has a great New Year. I think I reached 200,000 new views this year (currently at 271k; 61k in 2010; 10k in 2011-2010). 12 photos made it to Explore this year. Along my journey this year I have now completed visits to 20 different zoos, visited Florida / Kennedy Space Center, and traveled home to visit my family. I thank each one of you who routinely stop by and comment along the way. It really makes my day when I get a notification of some of your comments - it's been known to lighten the day more than once.
I'm hoping 2014 brings in plenty of wonderful adventures and good times for all. Keep safe my Flickr friends!
Edit: The Milwaukee County Zoo announced the birth of a male snow leopard cub on June 1, 2014! "This marks the first birth for Tomiris (age 14); as the oldest first-time snow leopard mother in captivity. The cub’s father is 15-year-old Genghis."

Have you ever considered what compassion is and how it might improve your life?
Compassion involves more than putting yourself in another’s place.
The definition of compassion is the ability to understand the emotional state of another person or oneself. Often confused with empathy,...

from the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough,
from the viewpoint of Love, none are necessary - Emmanuel

We walked and walked to reach the water. This is what we found. The tide was coming quickly back to it, and the best course of action was none.
"For there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes."
- Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
"Excuse me sir, could you spare some change" his quiet voice broke through the noise of passing traffic "I'm trying to get enough so I can stay at a refuge tonight" he explained.
I didn't have much money on me at the time but after giving him what I took the opportunity to highlight his struggle. Meet Nathan, he's the one in the Adidas tracksuit and black cap. Nathan moved away from his home because of what he describes as "personal reasons" and until this week had been staying with his uncle.
Nathan admits to having issues with his temper, it's something he isn't proud of. After an argument got out of hand between him and his uncle, he was asked to leave. Nathan is 20 years old, he doesn't have a job or a place to sleep... he struggles to see past today.
After chatting with Nathan and unsuccessfully offering to pray for him, I asked if I could take a few images of him. He didn't mind at all, "just don't load them onto one of those x-rated sites" he joked.
So staying back a safe distance I watched as he approached a man in his 30's, he didn't have any luck. Then a man in his 50's, no luck. He approached a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th...still no luck. His head hung low he moved on. Looking back over his shoulder in my direction, I couldn't offer him much but an encouraging smile.
He tried to stop a young woman who was passing quickly, in too much of a hurry, she kept moving. I thought, how could she do this, to not even stop! Oh how I was wrong, just as Nathan's head dropped again, she turned back. Reaching to her purse first she pulled out some coins, followed by some notes. She smiled at poor Nathan, held his hand and was gone.
Nathan came to me with a broad smile of his face and more than enough money for the refuge tonight. I showed him the pictures, this was his favorite, I proposed to him compassion as a title, he winked, smiled then left.
When others shook their head and refused to help, one woman went against the flow. She showed a poor man compassion. We can all show compassion but it has to be by choice, your choice and mine!
“Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us.” Eric Hoffer
When you next hear a voice asking for help, how are you going to answer? I hope this image has reminded you of the responsibility to love that we all should carry
they may not have a roof over their heads
they may be beggars on the streets
but there is no absence of love and compassion
it was touching how this woman was feeding her sick husband some watermelon.

Guanyin is the bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by East Asian Buddhists, usually as a female. The name Guanyin is short for Guanshiyin which means "Observing the Sounds (or Cries) of the World".
. . . Among Chinese Buddhist schools that are non-devotional, Guanyin is still highly venerated. Instead of being seen as an active external force of unconditional love and salvation, the personage of Guanyin is highly revered as the principle of compassion, mercy and love. The act, thought and feeling of compassion and love is viewed as Guanyin. A merciful, compassionate, loving individual is said to be Guanyin. A meditative or contemplative state of being at peace with oneself and others is seen as Guanyin.
