The heart of compassion speaks when nothing else can break through to the wounded soul: closed off from countless scars… slapped back by inner fears and outer restrictions. The heart of compassion is there… was there… will be there… because the heart of compassion is not a temporary whim. It rests in each one of us as though it is waiting at all times and in all situations to be revealed. That is why it is a healthy thing for me to know that I am not a bad person getting good. I am but a sick man getting well. When the masks come off we are all the same with varying degrees of neurosis. But, when the spark of compassion ignites between two separate souls we become one with each other… even if that unity is found at first only in our common suffering. Suffering can be the springboard that launches us towards a common healing. Saying yes to the heart of compassion is to know God.Monday, November 28, 2011
Break on Through to the Heart of Compassion
The heart of compassion speaks when nothing else can break through to the wounded soul: closed off from countless scars… slapped back by inner fears and outer restrictions. The heart of compassion is there… was there… will be there… because the heart of compassion is not a temporary whim. It rests in each one of us as though it is waiting at all times and in all situations to be revealed. That is why it is a healthy thing for me to know that I am not a bad person getting good. I am but a sick man getting well. When the masks come off we are all the same with varying degrees of neurosis. But, when the spark of compassion ignites between two separate souls we become one with each other… even if that unity is found at first only in our common suffering. Suffering can be the springboard that launches us towards a common healing. Saying yes to the heart of compassion is to know God.
