“When we hear about compassion, it naturally brings up working with others and caring for others. The reason we’re often not there for others— whether for our child, or our mother, or someone who is insulting us, or someone who frightens us— is that we’re not there for ourselves. There are whole parts of ourselves that are so unwanted that whenever they begin to come up, we run away”. Pema Chodron
“We must learn to honor our nature as human beings. We must combine our “unwanted parts” with our highest and most caring ones and learn to accept and love ourselves in to wholeness”. Anna Easter
