“If you feel something other than compassion for any living thing, then you are viewing that being, creature, etc. through the scrim of ego, through beliefs and ideas and feelings that prevent you from seeing the truth and distinguishing reality.

“Defensiveness, insecurity, and comparison not only divide you from others, but from your own brilliant humanity. Ironically, letting others be what they are, while you remain in perfect ease with your imperfections, solidifies connections you thought were once lost.” -Amy Larson, amyjalapeño.com
“To stop believing in something is to assign it a bed in the rest home of reality, where it will wither and die from disuse. And this is where we send some of our best ideas, wisest notions, and greatest desires.” -Amy Larson, AmyJalapeño.com
