A Compassionate Heart






By dictionary standards, an open mind is one receptive to new thoughts and ideas. It also suggests that one should reserve judgment until all facts are in place before making an opinion.

“Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.”
Phil Jackson

It would be nice if this train of thought held precedent in the world today. There would be less jumping to conclusions and rushing to voice an uneducated opinion. It would reflect tolerance, kindness, consideration and love in thoughts and actions. Perhaps the world would slow down just a little bit for observing, listening and perceiving all in life.

On this St. Patrick’s Day, it’s nice to observe and perceive that the shamrock reflects not just the Holy Trinity, but three hearts joined together.



“I believe in the sun when it’s not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when he is silent.”
An Irish Saying
