In the depth of belonging emerges a human need for compassionate connection. Compassion is the key to building a community with greater understanding that transcends our barriers of differences. Compassion turns 'being different' into 'respecting the uniqueness' of ourselves and each other with its transformative healing touch. Apathy can prevent us from this expression of love called compassion. Choose compassion over apathy with its indifference, for in its gentle strength lies the power to heal, uplift, and create a world where diversity reigns and every heart beats to the rhythm of evolution. Compassion is a powerful and healing expression of caring. Like forgiveness, compassion is a spiritual quality that feeds our Soul and transforms everyone it touches."
