"Hugs" (Compassion)
0.0 x 0.0
Compassion is like a big hug, but before you can really hug others, I think you've got to be able to give a hug to yourself. A spiritual teacher once taught me "Your first true love is yourself." It took me a while to really get what he meant. My compassion needed a foundation. I needed to be vulnerable, to reveal what I'd hidden behind my mask; hidden hurts, secret desires. I needed to grow, to create a reservoir of my own humility and humanity. Through that process I got to know myself and warm my heart with innocent self-acceptance. What I relish is, now that I find myself huggable, I can better hug you - just as you are, just as I am...hugs!
