Tears of Shiva shed into rivers. Cherry blossoms fell. The goddess of the confluence admired them for a time
before she released them. The tears scoured suffering. The petals added beauty. The river flows on.
I watch where streams of consciousness flow into one another and write what I see.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - The Dalai Lama
i've seen degrees of compassion in the children i teach that stagger me when i look at some of the adults in their lives. care, in the deepest and richest sense of the word allows a person to act from rightness. steven
Simply put, but most profound. Thanks.
