[Dialogue] [Norton AntiSpam] Compassion

[Ken Whitney]

Dear Muriel,  I think we got a phone message from you.  We'd enjoy a visit, however we are going to Cape Cod on Thursday for about 10 days (the whole family!)  Perhaps we can find a day after we come back - in August.  Thanks for thinking of us.  Clare

  Dear Colleagues,
  Is anyone reading or taking part in a discussion of Karen Armstrong's book, Twelve Steps To A Compassionate Life?
  Karen writes, "Do we want to succumb to our reptilian brain, when we have seen for ourselves what can happen when hatred, disgust, greed, or the desire for vengeance consume entire groups?  In our perilously divided world, compassion is in our best interest.  To acquire it, however, will demand an immense effort of mind and heart."
  I am considering this book for our Seekers group at the UCC in Holyoke, MA.
  I would like to dialogue with anyone working on compassion.
  Muriel
