Product Description
COMPASSION: THOUGHTS ON CULTIVATION A GOOD HEART invites us to consider that our attention to the little things makes it easier to appreciate the concerns of our friends, families, communities and the world at large. In doing so, we begin to conduct our lives with an ever-present spirit instead of saving such outpouring for tragic situations and natural disasters. The essays in this powerful little book provide examples for doing just that be it tending injured animals or bearing the burdens of another. Writers as varied as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Wendy Wright and Robert Corin Morris urge that we appreciate the gift that compassion offers. You'll be guided through several practical paths of enhancing your capacity to care. |
