Calvino Rabeni: My opinion is, compassion doesn't care much, whether it is called "compassion" or "love"

Zen Arado: there was a nice article in Tricycle yesterday about the love that surrounds us and we don't notice
Zen Arado: "That radiant blessing of love has been coming to us from the start, not just from a few people close to us, but also from many not personally known to us or people long forgotten. So many have offered themselves to us quietly, unnoticed and unremarked upon, such as those who served in our school, who coached sports for us as small children, who taught us music and clapped for us, who watched over us with kindness and care wherever we ran and played. Then there are all the adults who put loving care into their work, as our teachers, doctors, nurses, social workers, craftsmen, bakers, librarians, and waitresses. Yet we may never have noticed the extent of such care and consideration. "
