Never read the paper (or social media) to find out
what’s happening in the world.
What’s happening in the world is what we bring to it,
what we choose to see in it,
what we create
with the joy and the light
of our own love and attention.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein — excerpt from a letter published in the New York Post (1972)
I don’t know about you, but I could use a dose of compassion. For myself, from myself — for others, from others. Looking around, I know I’m not the only one.

To evoke the best from others, you must find a vibration that is a match to the best in others.

And there it is — my personal responsibility to bring it, first.
I no longer get to blame the trying teenager, the Negative Nelly weekly meeting participant, the crabby close-ish companion.
Yes, all those people may actually be all those things (aren’t we all, at different times?). But our experience of it is because we are right there with them in some way.
Oh, snap.
