    I want to be able to understand and articulate the link (assuming there is one) between enlightenment and compassion. _()_

        Well, now it’s to ponder this excellent question (be back later).

          In the words of e.e. cummings, "I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance." Which I guess just means to enjoy things without always trying to analyze them.

          Sat today and lah

                    I'm honestly still trying to figure this out for myself.
