Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night.

Nothing exists by itself alone.
We all belong to each other,
we cannot cut reality into pieces.
My happiness is your happiness;
my suffering is your suffering.
We heal and transform together.

Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Not a career. Not wealth. Not intelligence. Certainly not status.
We have to feel for one another
if we're going to survive with dignity.

I believe one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with the pain.

We are never too poor or too small
to give just a piece of ourselves;
for that is how we were made: tiny pieces of people, places, moments, our mosaic...
Who are we to hold back a small kindness? It just might be someone else's missing piece!
