Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.

Life is like an ever-shifting kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter.

The difference between misery and happiness depends on what we do with our attention.

We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it.
