Open to Compasssion —

To help a little…

In the context of our life,

Is to hold our good intentions close…

And not let it die.

To nurture it and let it flourish,

To give it conditions to grow,

To attend to it and not forget,

To watch it flowering beautifully so.

As it breathes life into our words,

As it paints a picture in our mind,

As it changes the colours of our world,

As it transforms through day and night.

To open our heart is to open our mind —

To be open that we are wrong,

To be open that others are right,

To see clearly with our collective eyes.

Like the sun that is always shining,

Like trees that are now flowering,

We can be brave and we can be bright,

We can embrace this life with a loving mind.
