You're welcome Mia. It's something I work on constantly - and it
does take effort. It takes a lot of letting go, dozens, perhaps
hundreds of times on a daily basis. And when you can look at
someone and really SEE them, not for who you expect them to be,
or what you wish they were, or what they once were but are no
longer - when you see them as they are in the NOW -- you gain a
sense of compassio...n that is hard to describe. You realize
that that could easily be you, born in a different skin, in a
different body, at a different time, with a different
upbringing. I hope to really "get it" someday, but for now, I
just keep practicing. I don't expect to change the world. Just
myself. And in the end, that's the only person you CAN possibly
change. "
