Teach me the power and strength of silence
that I may go into the world
as still as a mouse
in the depths of my heart.
~ Mechtild of Magdeburg
Love begets love. Like a wave, the love of an individual can evoke compassion in another. The active display of concern warms the many hearts who witness it. The love spreads for many to see. Compassion hen generates community. Others are brought into the swirling dynamic of God's revelation of care. The witness to love can inspire others to carry the tide of concern further.
