I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

Compassion, the Divine Corrective
“Compassion is the basis of morality.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer
_______________________________
it does not matter what code you claim to follow
whether you are conservative or liberal
whether you are a lover of rules
or a rebel
whether you are religious
or are allergic to religion
if you are not compassionate
your belief system
your righteousness
your faith
will be turned into something
that is ugly
cold
and cruel
and even in the name of Christ
you will neglect the poor
judge the struggling
and turn away
the stranger
compassion
is the divine
corrective
