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.
This was the kitchen at the Compassion Project we visited. They fed 200-300 kids every Saturday out of this smoke-filled shack.

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.

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.
