I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

I'm in the middle of watching Bourdain's Parts Unknown in the DRC, and it reminded me of my trip to Tibet. The DRC is one of two trips (with the KKH in Pakistan being the other) that I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do. When I was younger, I watched TV shows about the bush pilots and more recently followed a couple's journey traversing the country. I can only hope the situation in the world improves and I can do both; if not, I am so happy, heartbroken, and stirred to be able to travel with Bourdain tonight.

But why does compassion have to be universal? Because this is different from moral judgment. It doesn’t prevent you from saying that those are walking psychopaths, that they have no heart. But compassion is to remedy suffering wherever it is, whatever form it takes and whoever causes it. So what is the object of compassion here? It is the hatred and the person under its power. If someone beats you with a stick, you don’t get angry with the stick — you get angry with the person. These people we are talking about are like sticks in the hands of ignorance and hatred. We can judge the acts of a person at a particular time, but compassion is wishing that the present aspect of suffering and the causes of suffering may be remedied. Anyway, I enjoy every moment of life, but of course there are moments of extreme sadness — especially when you see so much suffering. But this should kindle your compassion, and if it kindles your compassion, you go to a stronger, healthier, more meaningful way of being. That’s what I call happiness. It’s not as if all the time you jump for joy. Happiness is more like your baseline. It’s where you come to after the ups and downs, the joy and sorrows. We perceive even more intensely — bad taste, seeing someone suffer — but we keep this sense of the depth. That’s what meditation brings. NYT, Matthieu Ricard 8/19/23
Adventures in Seeing#11 - Compassion
She saw the small child in wide-eyed wonder on the brink of life. She also saw the young adult full of anticipation of the unknown life experience yet to come. But most of all, she saw the woman before her who contained all three. All of them are worthy of consideration and kindness for all that had been and for all that is yet to come.
Day 75/365 :: MUSIC
For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.

I can't believe this rose survived being transplanted from my late father's garden in the blasting heat of last summer. It sat in the wheelbarrow for several weeks waiting and waiting and I thought we'd lost it for sure; but no, it flourished merrily, and I love it.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile,
a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
-- Leo Buscaglia --

The peony symbolizes many things, but right now, the world needs more compassion. Shot black and white in camera, and am impressed with the result.
The trees teach us to gather strength from our deepest roots and extending the shade and compassion to all.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
~"The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a special person to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands.” Arthur H. Stainback
~“The dew of compassion is a tear.” Lord Byron
~“Make no judgements where you have no compassion"
~“Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.” Henry Ward Beecher.”
~“Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will” William Cowper
~“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
~“No one has ever become poor by giving.” ― Anne Frank
~"The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His COMPASSION'S never fail. They are new every morning; Great is God's faithfulness" Lamentations 3:22-23
"DARE TO BE" (this is good : )
"When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to press on. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be!” ― Steve Maraboli
