. Com-passion is a meaningful word... sharing the same passion the same suffering the same agony accepting in my heart the misery in yours, oh, my friends and you ~ accepting me. Oh yes, there is fear but even more deeply there is the insistent cry from the entrails of the suffering one that calls me forth... some faint feeling of confidence that my smile my presence has value and can give hope.. thus deep friendship is born mutual presence humble and forgiving engendering quiet joy. . |

For me to say that you have a "compassionate" heart, would most assuredly be an understatement! Nancy, as you love others, may that love be returned to you ten-fold! You are beautiful inside and out! ![]() Sending lots of love to you! Linda |

" some faint feeling of confidence that my smile my presence has value and can give hope.." Words to weep by. Far too many times, thoughts fall back to that dream. Beautifully worded. Sandra |

Your poetry always glows "Oh yes, there is fear but even more deeply there is the insistent cry from the entrails of the suffering one that calls me forth... some faint feeling of confidence that my smile my presence has value and can give hope.. " One can give hope. |

![]() (wipes tears) Oh Nancy, this made me cry because this is soooooooo beautifully genuine and beaming with such emotional strength and comfort! (smiles) That's what the most beautiful gift of compassion has always been to me; that there's more than just the shoulder you lean on for support, but feeling the warmth of a friend's smile and understanding exactly how a smile can transcend all earthly limitations and grief! (wipes tear) God Bless You, sweet friend, this poem totally made my day, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
