" It is my choice to care
deeply about others.
No kindness is too small
to be important - the smile
to the bank teller, the sincere
" thank-you " for all kindnesses
received, the reassuring hand
on the shoulder of a loved one,
or friend. There is compassion
in selfless generosity, and there
is also compassion in heartfelt
empathy."
