Respond to the World with a Noble Heart
"Compassion is the unfettered
yearning that responds to the world with noble heart, the understanding that
others are just like us."
"Radiating from basic goodness like
the sun, compassion lifts us above self-involvement and brings us out of the
Dark Age."
"Just like the sun behind a cloud,
it shines through our self-centeredness."
You mean I have to be nice?
“Sometimes people feel disappointed
when they hear about practicing compassion: 'You mean I have to be
nice?' It's kind of a letdown."
“If you want to be miserable, think of yourself. If you want to be happy, think of others.”

Sue, what a lovely way to honor Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, your hometown hero who lost his life protecting others. And I appreciate the reference to a sweet song I remember from childhood -- a song that, sad to say, never loses its relevance.
Taliesin was worthy of such an honor. He embodied the compassionate soul.
What a wonderful tribute to one who gave His life for others. Loved the blog. We all need be more compassionate toward others. Place them first before our own selfish wants.
Cynthia--I just attended a memorial for Taliesin. His family is choosing to put their loss in the highest spiritual terms for us all. They are starting a movement called 'We Choose Love'.
We honor the incredible courage he demonstrated as he stepped in to do the right thing. Sending Love to you.
