Compassion by Cate Jacobs

Compassion  

is the reaching of a breath
from one who is full
to one who is in need
of the air of humanity.  

The pull  

and rhythm of that breath
a life line back to being
in communion with each other.  

It is the gentle let down reflex
of our hearts channeling
God's love. The sigh of the Holy Spirit
filling the space between us.  

The tingle of the souls of our feet
as we walk a mile in the shoes
of another. Just a breath.
From me to you.  

Out       and       in.  

Drawing us back
to the knowledge
we are beloved and equal
in the eyes of God
