Compassion
is not fine china
you pull
out on those rare occasions
when the
moon of your generosity
and the
stars of deserving people
align for
an elegant dining experience.
Neither
is it a hand extended downward
in pity,
quickly withdrawn to security
when its
precious cargo has been delivered.
It is,
instead an everyday,
moment-by-moment,
person-to-person
way of
thinking, speaking, acting, living.
It is
love, not just in action, but also interaction.
