Compassion, definitions of the moment
To be silent rather than add to the burden of another. To spend anger in meditation rather than on others. To care more that hurt is not given than that is is felt.

To be content with what is, as it is, be it for oneself as well as for others.

interesting, the responses i’m seeing from recent posts. i’ve decided to ‘take a break’ for a bit.
spring cleaning (book list)
