Compassion is the way of transformation. As we show compassion to ourselves and others, there can be restoration and healing.
Our retreat with Frank Rogers ends today. I have one more opportunity to soak in the teaching. It has been incredible, authentic, and life-giving.
The table fellowship, our listening circles, random conversations, etc. -- it has all been good.
The quote in the picture is one of the morning devotion quotes.
Another one by Nelson Mandela states: "Our human compassion binds us the one to the other- not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future."
Another quote for the day is by Thomas Merton: "The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another."
Compassion. Walking with others. Holding space for others.
As we walk through our own journeys, we are reminded of our connections and interdependence on the path to wholeness and well being.
Blessings on your journey,
Debra
