In our relationships, how much can we allow them to become new, and how much do we cling to what they used to be yesterday?
Ram DassThe humor is that finally when you have the power to move the mountain, you are the person who placed it there-so there the mountain stays.
Ram DassThe root of compassion is not empathy; that is kindness. Kindness is great, but it is not the ultimate compassion. Ultimate compassion relieves the suffering that comes from separateness. The suffering that comes from separateness is relieved only when you are fully present with another person, not when you are separately present.
Ram Dass
