Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), The Thousand Arms of the Bodhisattva

There are many ways to express compassion.

If I try to be compassionate, but do so only within my preferred idiom, I will either miss opportunities or bungle them, offering somthing unneeded while ignoring paths which would let me touch them more deeply, more kindly, more effectively.
