COMPASSION
is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

I wish I had a little Catherine I could put in my pocket and take everywhere with me.
