Compassion is the keen awareness of the interdependence of all living things which are all part of one another and involved in one another.
~ Thomas Merton
When you see the world as part of yourself, you will take care of it. When you see yourself as part of the world, you will be cared for.
In the shining secret garden, the solitary sign of the crocus speaks once more through blackened snow. The poet's word has revived with the resurrected flower, echoing the refrain of the One Song.
