Compassion is the basis of all truthful relationship: it means being present with love-for ourselves and for all life, including animals, fish, birds, and trees. Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give this world and one another.
Ram DassIf you keep examining your mind, you'll come to see that thoughts of who you are and how it all is are creating the reality you're experiencing.
