Buddha Speaks - We are connected by Love and Compassion

There is no denying that consideration of others is worthwhile. There is no denying that our happiness is inextricably bound up with the happiness of others. There is no denying that if society suffers, we ourselves suffer. Nor is there any denying that the more our hearts and minds are afflicted with ill-will, the more miserable we become. Thus we can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion.

- H.H. the Dalai Lama, "Consider Yourself a Tourist"

The theme of love and compassion is strong in November.  We need to remember that we are all on a journey and that we travel at the speed that we are comfortable with.  You see this reflected in the way that people drive.  Some drive slowly, and others drive very fast.  It is all part of the movement forward.
