Check out this lil video on compassion. It’s actually a promo for Marc Ian Barasch’s book, “The Compassionate Life.” Its few words speak so profoundly, for example: “When I acknowledge my own pain I am much less squeamish about drawing nearer to yours.” The uncomfortable, awakening truth of that line makes my heart ache, sweetly. Cute animals are also involved.
