‘‘If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” 

– Dalai Lama 

"The more I study physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics." - Albert Einstein

Compassion is integration of the mind made visible…

"Integration, when it is made visible, is kindness and compassion. That's really the fundamental teaching of all the world's major religions, the wisdom traditions of this world. Integration is well-being. Integration is the kindness that the planet deserves." - Dr. Dan Siegel

We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leafs from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated "egos" inside bags of skin. - Alan Watts

"Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.”  - Albert Einstein

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure  as long as life lasts."

— Rachel Carson

"You need to first understand the order of the universe and your place in it - you can't find happiness in your personal life if you are not living in harmony with the universe. The constituents of real things are found not to be real - these findings show that the quantum phenomena make it possible to establish a new covenant between the human mind and the mind-like background of the universe - one that provides a home again to the homeless and meaning to seemingly pointless life. The universe must be assumed to have a moral as well as a physical order, and facts and values derive again from a single source."

- Lothar Schafer
