To my dear friends at OSonOS Halifax: A dear friend recently gave me a copy of the book When Things Fall Apart and today I arrived at Chapter 13, Widening the Circle of Compassion and found this prologue:
Only in an open, nonjudgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where were not all caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate them properly. The book is written by an American Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron, who resides at Gampo Abbey, Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia. Perhaps one or more of you there in Halifax will pay her a visit. Its clear she is one of us!
