A terrific read. A sincere and honest look ay human feelings and how much we need to allow when we relate to one another. Walk a few miles in "other" shoes.

COMPASSION
Union Theological Seminary
Broadway at 121st Street
New York, NY
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice recently held its first exhibition, Compassion, from November 19, 2009 to January 14, 2010.
In today's shifting political, economic, and ecological landscape, the need for compassion has never been greater, compassion understood as mutual interdependence, knowledge of self and others, and concern for human flourishing. This kind of compassion requires seeking to know all aspects of human reality, being open to truths beyond our everyday experience and embedded in it. Artists often awaken compassion most profoundly. They form our imaginations such that we can envision our interconnectedness in ways that mere didacticism cannot achieve.
Compassion used the buildings of Union Theological Seminary to create a kind of pilgrimage. The works were situated in various locations to create a tour of this remarkable and often overlooked historic complex.
Alfredo Jaar's Embrace (1995), from his Rwanda series, greeted the visitor in the Hastings lobby. Scott Treleaven was featured in the James Chapel with black and white photos from Cimitero Monumentale (2009). Marina Abramovic's video 8 Lessons on Emptiness with a Happy End (2008) shared the Narthex with Yoko Ono's Whisper Piece (2001). Terence Koh's invisible installation was located in the Refectory, with its 40-foot ceiling and massive stone fireplace, nearby. If the visitor strayed to the other end of the building, she might have found Bas Jan Ader's iconic image I'm too sad to tell you in the Burke Library, echoed in the plaintive chant of Michael Bühler-Rose's liquid ritual I'll Worship You and You'll Worship Me (2009), which could be found in the upper reaches of the Rotunda. Chrysanne Stathacos' Rose Mandala Mirror (three reflections for HHDL), also in the Rotunda, was originally created in honor of the Dalai Lama. While circumnavigating the cloisters that link the various spaces of the seminary, further works by Gareth Long and Paul Mpagi Sepuya could be found.
The Institute of Art, Religion, and Social Justice was founded under the auspices of Union Theological Seminary to explore the relationship between contemporary art and religion through the lens of social justice.
Compassion was curated by AA Bronson, Artistic Director of the Institute.
The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Karen Armstrong's TED Prize 2009 of the same name.

It's so easy to overlook things we don't want to see. Here are a few words from Brandon Heath's new song. He's asking God:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
I pray that God allows me to have a heart of compassion for those who are struggling with so many different afflictions.
Complete in love and compassion. Complete is the connection between body and
mind in awareness with the permanent part of non awareness From here we can
spontanious flood body and mind to become aware of wholeness ; " In love, full
compassion, pure and sereen without effort equal our real nature. I live towards my
body to become aware of the moment of completeness and share permanent
happiness from within with you.
Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
The heroic act of Second Lieutenant Richard Rowland Kirkland during the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862 was astonishing but awe-inspiring. As a Confederate soldier, he was struck by the painful cries of the wounded, and decided to step out and help the soldiers from both sides despite the potential danger for himself. The causes of war are often complex, but humanitarian hearts can just be simple and unconditional.

A slogan on the walkway of old, downtown El Centro in California: "the compassion to care, the leadership to conquer". This seems like a statement that is out-of-place for the setting but I do like the sentiment. Somehow I don't think it was part of the optical shop called "ICU". I did like the motto of that shop: "Your vision is our focus". I have another frame where that part of this street scene actually IS in focus, LOL.
The composition was made for me by the time of day as the sharp light and high contrast with light and shadow attracted my attention.
This lovely climbing rose I grow,is called `Compassion`. It is what I feel for the bereaved families of the British soldiers who have died in Afghanistan;my heart goes out to them ...death toll now 212(another two today) .Many are merely lads of 18 ,who have given their lives ,in what some Generals now say is an `unwinable` war. When will they ever learn???.........shame on our politicians.
See `Where have all the flowers gone?` on youtube .....Pete Seeger ,Joan Baez or Marlene Dietrich.
