“If your compassion doesn’t include yourself, it is incomplete,” shares author, Jack Kornfield.

But, what does that mean?

Isn’t compassion initiated through action to another living soul? If so, then what is our role within it?

Are we the actor, or are we the catalyst? Does the action of doing forge the connection?

Or…

Does the energy require an inward introspection? Must we first connect with the rawness of our own spiritual unrest in order to engage that of another?

Surely, this awareness would help to hasten our bond ~ demonstrating connection through the conduit of open heart.

Though, perhaps its meaning is much simpler still — that a compassion realized is one to be shared.

A little something to consider, my loves…that the truest compassion bears no condition.

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
