Compassion and being present.
“If you want to become happy, practice compassion.” Dali Lama
“Self care is a divine responsibility.” Anonymous
“The greatest thing you can do in this life is to cultivate and exercise compassion.
Life is about learning how to flow with your basic goodness. it’s about entering the heart and making it the front of your being.” Robert Lax
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” Dali Lama XIV
We are celebrating the life of David’s mother, who lived 101 years, 50 of them in France and Italy.
Our children came to join us in the celebration. We had many things to do in a short time, but as my daughter said, “Let’s try to be present in the moment as we celebrate the things and places she loved. It is so easy to think about the next thing we have to do.”
So that was our goal.
Be still and know that I am God.
Being present while packing up a lifetime,
Palmer Marrin
