Poem of the Week: Compassion Is Our Highest Self...

Compassion is the expression of the higher self,

The values of the Light are on that top shelf.

Seeing the self through the mirror of all things,

And when there is suffering, it really stings.

Not too numb to feel the pain around the world,

Expressing truths as they become unfurled.

Intolerant of the injustices manifesting,

Pointing it all out by boldly attesting.

Being compassionate is our greatest strength,

Fighting for each other at any length.

Every being has a right to live and thrive,

Not fighting tooth and nail just to stay alive.

The heart is where compassion always dwells,

When we live in this space, our lives excel.

We can grow compassion for those we adore,

There isn't enough & we can always use more.

Let's expand it out to the ones around the globe,

Spreading the values of compassion and hope.

Because all we need is to care for the whole,

And compassion takes us right back to this goal.
