8/13/2019 3 Comments What is Compassion? It is empathy with legs and justice in your extended hands. Compassion is love in action. When you get out of 'you' and flow with the energy of love which makes up the mind of altruism. I’ve thought long and hard about this and I’ve come to realize the only thing that matters in this life is to be a friend to my neighbors. The goal of this new blog and website is to inspire readers to reach out to touch a hurting world and place a little balm in the dry places and a listening ear in the lonely faces. Also to find the hidden treasure you carry within, to give and to create a whole world of healing. It won’t take much, maybe a phone call, a smile, a meaningful gift, a couple of dollars, a dozen cookies, and a kind word. Profound simplicity turns darkness to light. So it is with gratitude that I take this journey with you. Please be compassionate to me and share your stories with me. What compassionate acts did you witness today? In what way were you able to be used as a compassionate ambassador? Your ideas help us all, so take 5 minutes and share. Blessings.
Peace, Peggy

A few years ago, I was in the checkout line at Walmart. An elderly couple in front of me was trying to check out. They didn’t have enough money and were taking items off their cart. Things like pizza and veggies and milk. I have felt horrible ever since that encounter many years ago that I didn’t pay for their groceries. I still feel ashamed. This program that you’ve put together will undoubtedly help me more than it’ll help someone that I pass a coin to. Maybe I’ll feel some relief from my guilt that I still feel. if I proactively look to help someone else.

One of the great arts of compassion I treasure is what some call Holding Space for someone. Letting them know they are real and that they matter. Loving them through and in whatever is going on. When someone hurting finds that sense of mattering something profound changes. A light that flickering grows stronger in the night. I love it. Love what you are doing! Leave a Reply. |
