Cochran, Tracy - A00063
"I used to think that compassion was a matter of allowing the heart to open (not that this is simple). But I'm beginning to learn that this practice of compassion -- this practice of allowing the sense of connection in -- takes letting go -- moment by moment -- of all that we identify with and cling to as "me" and "mine." We have to be willing to know nothing, to just be open and astonished by what is."
