“Compassion is a verb.”

Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

Understanding someone's suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love's other name. If you don't understand, you can't love.

No mud, no lotus.

Let us be at peace with our bodies and our minds.

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.

Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile.
