As you begin to transform your own inner pain, you also transform other peoples anger and hatred into flowers. You soon see that arrows shot at you come out of other peoples pain. You do not feel injured by their arrows or actions; instead, you have only compassion. Your compassion transforms the speech and actions of the other person. Together these practices provide real self-protection, which is necessary before we can protect others. Thich Nhat Hanh
Thank you so much for this!
You are so welcome. :-)
My husband and I had an amazing conversation last night. It's all good AND I do believe I will spend my weekend abstaining from the evil weed.
