The compassionate heart is not only an open heart. It is a heart that is kind, warm, and sensitive to the truth, sensitive to who we are. It is a loving response to suffering and pain. Compassion opens direct contact with the richness of our being in a tender and powerful way. These turbulent times call for compassion – compassion for ourselves and compassion for others.
