Captivated

 

"In that compassionate action, we automatically

create more inner light, more inner space for growth."

O. Nightsky

In the instant of reacting with compassion, we open ourselves to the tenderness of life. Whether we experience a harsh situation or a warm-hearted exchange, living becomes an open ended excursion.

Without contemplating investment or exacting precision, we do not set the rhythm for outcome.  We are captivated by each moment as it unfolds.  When we open our hearts, life expands on its own accord. 

With empathy, there is less judgement and increased opportunity to learn.  When we are accessible to the passage of time, nuances direct us to what we normally do not see.  Insight triggers kindness and a willingness to stretch and grow.
