I am Awake, I am Compassionate

I understood that life is not about what I see, it is something deeper than that.

It is also not about what is said, but about what cannot be put into words.

It is not about what changes, but what remains.

It is not about putting yourself in the other's shoes, but about feeling what the other feels and enjoying true compassion.

It's not about interpreting, or rationalizing, it's just about accepting things as they are and as they come.

Things have changed for me from "I'm going to think about this" to "I'm going to feel about this". My mind has many voices, my heart has only one. My body is the place of truth. The more awake, more truth.
