Compassionate Family

Let's imagine a truly compassionate society amid current evidence to the contrary and also celebrate all the ways in which compassion is manifested every day. We all are brothers and sisters, the law abiders as well as the misguided, the dark and the pale, the religious and the non-believers, the open hearted and the closed, the wounded, the healed, and the those in recovery. The challenge is to embrace even the least among us as well as the most vile as family; one heterogeneous, variously talented, flawed, and endlessly evolving family.
