Quote on compassion

Compassion has been on my mind lately.
Here is another great quote on compassion by Albert Einstein:

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

I am so moved by this quote. I am inspired by the line, 'widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures...'

I got this quote from Ram Dass' book, "How Can I Help?
I just finished "Paths to God" and started on this one.
I can't get enough Ram Dass!

Just taught a private. Will read some more, do a home practice, meditate and then teach tonight at Black Dog at 6PM.
