On True Compassion

Beloved Radiant Ones---  

Having written a note to herself on learning acceptance, The Woman shared with many others on the web, showered, dressed for work and felt love in her heart. She traveled from Harlem to Brooklyn on the 3 train and arrived at work resolved to share her best self.  

Later sitting at a co-worker's cubicle, she heard her phone ring and ran to answer it.  It was the tenor of an old familiar voice, one that she had known for 44 years that stunned, and left her almost speechless with joy.  After she spoke to him, her Spirit was relieved for she felt his love in friendship, and knew without condition that he believed in her goodness.  

She valued his friendship and knew well of The Man's true compassion and goodness. That affirmation of truth re-affirmed her path and she spent the day listening and helping others.  Later her joy stung with gentle regret.  

Knowing The Man had been through many challenges since they had last spoken, in the shortness of the call she had not asked what kind of surgery had he had.  Nor had she offered her condolences on the deaths of those precious to him.  She also had forgotten to inquire about his family.  

She only hoped that somehow The Man felt her compassion and concern. Upon awakening the very next day, The Woman offered Prayers of Apology. 

In life we are given many rhythms to dance.  Sometimes we take a solo, step into a duet or follow the ensemble. 

The Woman realized that she was still learning to dance to the graceful rhythms of True Compassion.  She offered Gratitude and prayed for the well-being of The Man and His Family.  May They All Be Blessed!
