<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues,<br>Is anyone reading or taking part in a
discussion of Karen Armstrong's book, <i>Twelve Steps To A Compassionate
Life?</i><br>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."<br>I am considering
this book for our Seekers group at the UCC in Holyoke, MA.<br>I would like to
dialogue with anyone working on compassion.<br>Muriel<br></div>
