The Shaky Place

Compassionate action starts with seeing yourself when you start to make yourself right and when you start to make yourself wrong. At that point you could just contemplate the fact that there is a larger alternative to either of those, a more tender, shaky kind of place where you could live.

With the tender shakiness of spring beginning, exuberant yet still tentative, may we  take courage for our own tender hearts! How can we live in that open space between right and wrong?
