Two quotes

'The pain of the world will sear and break our hearts because we can no longer keep them closed. We've seen too much now. To some degree or other, we have surrendered into service and are willing to pay the price of compassion... But with it comes the joy of a single, caring act.

With it comes the honour of participating in a generous process in which one rises each day and does what one can.

With it comes the simple, singular grace of being an instrument of Love, in whatever form, to whatever end.'

- Ram Dass

'I never take care of crowds, only of a person. If I stopped to look at the crowds, I would never begin.'

- Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Thank you, Diane and Renelle, for sharing these two pieces of wisdom with me.

I think in a time like this when morale is low, everyone needs a booster. These two quotes are mine.
