Check out this 10th grader's art/commentary on COMPASSION
ORIGINAL POST AT OUR COLLECTIVE GOOD
I’ve long been a fan of the Appleton Compassion Project, but today’s sharing on their Facebook Page really got my attention.
Check out the accompanying words regarding compassion, by 10th grader, Sydney Kosgard:
Compassion is the conjoining of souls, an insight into another human’s core. It is the deepest level of understanding. It is an unspoken bond. Compassion connects two spirits together; their souls bound by a whispy, airy fiber clinging between them like a spider’s knot. Running from thread to thread is an electrical current that stimulates the spirit. Compassion is more than empathy, care, and love; it is the escape of man from earthly and bodily confines. Compassion is the Eden we so hungrily crave. It is an innocent and protected realm. It is ecstasy and an epiphany. When two souls connect, an aura of revelation is released. Much like switching on the lights after being shrouded in darkness, compassion illuminates our lives.
wowwwwww...........
