Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace. ~ Albert Schweitzer

I thought a good way to start the new year would be to focus on something so much of today’s world seems to be lacking—compassion.

It’s easy to feel compassion for those we love. (I picked that image above because the little boy looks so much like my grandson.)

It’s easy to feel compassion for those we agree with, those who are, basically, the same as us.… Read more

One of our readers wrote me recently. With her permission, I want to share with you part of her letter:
