Quote of the Day

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded.  It's a relationship between equals.  Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.  Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

Quote of the Day

There are no promises.  Look deeply at joy and sorrow, at laughing and crying, at hoping and fearing, at all that lives and dies.  What truly heals is gratitude and tenderness.
