Compassion is the art of seeing another’s pain with a loving heart.  It is an art because it transcends practice – it is imbued with grace, dignity, and thoughtful intention.  We do not blindly stumble into compassion, but rather we are elevated into a state of compassion.  Let us promote in ourselves a generous spirit, an empathic concern, and the energy necessary to become the artists of compassion that our loved ones so desperately need.  In so doing, the world will become a more compassionate realm, elevating All and furthering us along our spiritual path.  May we be steeped in Compassion, forever grateful.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
