Lisa Ann SandellWe are capable of suffering with our world, and that is the true meaning of compassion. It enables us to recognize our profound interconnectedness with all beings.

That is what is happening as we see people honestly confronting the sorrows of our time.

Sometimes there's a small kid crying and the Ma of it doesn't even hear.

Janet FitchI just love the fact that that's the way life is. When something horrible happens, you do find yourself laughing in weird places in the midst of grief and crying in the supermarket when you see a cereal that somebody used to eat.
