It has been awhile since I’ve felt such an experience of the results of compassion as I did today. I was walking in the streets of Bogota this morning and suddenly saw a young woman having difficulty walking and finding her way on the streets here. She apparently looked lost. Since she was carrying a long cane searching around the ground, I went up to her and gently touched her arm to guide her back on the sidewalk. What ensued was an hour walk to attempt to find her living area because she was blind and lost. After reaching her place at wishing her well, I had this tremendous feeling of compassion which seemed to open a spiritual door for me, and I recognized though this was a small step for me, it was an opening for me.
