"It is our own pain, and our own……" — Sylvia Boorstein

It is our own pain, and our own desire to be free… - Sylvia Boorstein
"It is our own pain, and our own desire to be free of it, that alerts us to the suffering of the world. It is our personal discovery that pain can be acknowledged, even held lovingly, that enables us to look at the pain around us unflinchingly and feel compassion being born in us. We need to start with ourselves."
