Compassion.

I wanted to post an image along with saying that I am touched by all the emails from people concerned about my safety here in San Diego. As you may have seen on the news San Diego County has been ravaged by fire. Out of all of this I have been most touched by the compassion that so many people have given to the residents of the county.
I'd also like to say that even though some of my family has been evacuated, our home, thankfully, is not in an affected area. I also want to thank of you that have contacted me with concern. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. :)

"But there you go, and I'm not done,
You're waving goodbye, well, at least you're having fun,
The rising tide will not let you forget me."
An attempt to do this. Whoever did that owns. I don't.

“Perhaps the Animal Spirit is so great that one day it may inspire compassion in the human heart.”—Nan Sea Love
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~Dalai Lama
Compassion is a mind that is motivated by cherishing other living beings and wishes to release them from their suffering.
“It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.”
Sorry, Minnie.
Personality Paradox - Part III
The events of the past few days have had a big effect on my creativity.
I hope you all understand that the series insinuates nothing to anyone, it was just a cool idea that came to me, so I am going with it. Go with the creative flow.
“In the beginning people take compassion to mean the feeling of wanting to alleviate the person’s pain or take it away from them. That’s usually what people think compassion is. A deeper level of compassion is, of course, taking action whether you feel inclined to or not.
Compassion is a kind of healing agent which helps us to tolerate the hurt of seeing the truth. The function of compassion in the Work is not to reduce hurt; its function is to lead to the truth. Much of the time, the truth is painful or scary. Compassion makes it possible to tolerate that hurt and fear. It is on the side of truth, and helps us to persist in our search for truth. The truth will ultimately dissolve the hurt, but this is a by-product. In fact, it is only when compassion is present that people will allow themselves to see the truth. Where there is no compassion there is no trust.” - A. Hameed Ali
"Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, Here I am."
- Isaiah 58:6-9

OK, seriously, we have the best listeners in the world. I have got to brag on them!!
Our "3 Days of Compassion" has come to an end, and our final total of children sponsored through Compassion International was 839!! That number is way crazy awesome!!! Our listeners have now produced over 6,300 responses in 6 marathons since 2002 - by far the most by any one station in Compassion’s history!
"Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into places of pain, to share brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human..." - Henri Nouwen.
Lourdes is a place of compassion and love, often a revelation of the best in Catholicism.
By the power of your single aspiration from countless eons long past,
now seeing clearly the vision of the supreme yidam deity,
Even though I do not abide in the essence of supreme enlightenment,
Even though I have been born wandering in samsara for successive lives,
Bhagavan Yamantaka, accept me.
I am making mandalas to increase my ability to find peace and calm during these shocking & horrible times in my country. My inspiration comes from my Buddhism. Viewers are invited to make their own meanings. I am using things in my cupboards, from my walls and garden and trying to focus my mind on the goodness and compassion I know still exist at hand & in this world.

Om Mani Padme Hum
After seeing this image on various monitors, I realized the mantra (om mani padme hung) coming out her mouth is hard to see. It's important that this component of the image is seen as it brings new dimensions to the image beyond just a portrait of a little girl but a broader concept of those enlightened beings and their activities all around us . A yogini is a female knowledge holder or holder of authentic wisdom which transcends any 1 religious ownership. For the yogin and yogini every breath is a prayer born from the motivation to benefit others. So the image shows a young female whom isn't talking but her compassion is spontaneously expressed. The mantra itself isn't pronounced because the qualities and activities of the yogins and yogini's is often times very subtle and at times requires a tremendous amount of mindfulness and spiritual accomplishment to even perceive. Offering this explanation earlier or at time of posting is an oversight of mine. If the mantra was easily perceptible, cool.

"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.
