"If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know they are safe. If you wish to understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to understand. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another."
The Dalai Lama
Like these fire-roasted aspen trees, we are all injured in some way. However, like the roots of these aspens, we are all interconnected. When we help another in their suffering, our own suffering is lessened. For we are all one.
