"Four and a half billion years ago, the Earth was a flaming molten ball of rock and now...it can sing opera."
We are magnificent beings, you and I—even in this, our most imperfect form...as we stand here still, yet today, rising above when all else has failed.
And in our hearts, we hold dear humanity's greatest gift—a brilliant compassion that shines deep from within our very soul.
Compassion is our journey and it is our perfection.
And likewise, it can help shape molten goo into opera.
namaste, my most beautiful friends ~ much, much love to you on this day.
I recognize the quote as something my buddha Tara Brach has said many times in her dharma talks although I don't know the source. Thank you for the smile...
ReplyDeleteDavid Swimme is the source; and if you've not read through his works, they are actually quite good.
