Longtime Work toward New Vision

This Sunday, Rev. Nancy TannerThies explored our monthly theme of Compassion.  Compassion, she said, goes beyond mere pity; where pity is a form of sadness bordering on despair, compassion calls us into kindness and helping.  It is, however, more difficult; true compassion requires us to come with our whole selves, including the "undesirable" parts that we tend to stuff away, out of view: our "-isms," fears, wounds, and failures.  As terrifying as it is to open those things we hide away, until we work through them with compassionate curiosity and accept them, we will find ourselves projecting them onto others and blocking our compassion for them.  When we have compassion for ourselves, then we can move into compassion for others, and in a future of thriving together.
