With palms together,
Good Morning All,
The world is all a-jitter. Terrorists, terror threats, wars: all before our eyes 24/7. I wonder about the impact of such things on our human psyche. How does one live in constant fear and remain a human being? One doesn't.
The truth is, its all noise.
An abundance of caution is just a way of justifying giving sway to fear. Caution, good; an abundance, not so good. In an abundance of anything we swim in craziness. Each voice ramping up the next until there's nothing left but the shrill whine of terror itself. We clone each other.
So here's what to do. Nothing. Doing nothing is always best. Just as there is thunder in silence, so there is peace in vast emptiness. Let the voices rant, be peace in the rage. Smile a lot. Smiling helps. Bow a lot. Humility is always a good thing.
In a placid pond, stones are swallowed whole.
Be well.

Yes!!!!!!!! :)
Compassion does not exist apart from our original nature. When the dog wants out, you take him out. When the baby cries, you nurture her. Pond and stone are one.
Great thought...."In an abundance of anything we swim n craziness". So true..it merits our attention.

Where in this silence sits compassion?
I think the dirty little secret is that in doing nothing, one is still doing. And with deliberate intent.
