~ singing,

{brimmingly so!}

& thoughtful words.. .empathy/sympathy/compassion ~

{empathy & compassion ~ how they go Much Further than sympathy in order to relate to & feel what others feel, to understand their hardships & take action to help alleviate their needs so they can reach their full potential 

 ~such important qualities to develop & improve! things in our family, our parents have always taught us, but i've really loved reading about it in this way, learning it really is a process & way of thinking/acting/helping that becomes a part of us & can be taught to others ~ so beautiful!}

"Any Fish Can Swim Near the Surface,

but it Takes a Great Whale Of A Man to go down 5 miles or more" ~ Herman Melville 

& another quote i feel deeply tonight!

“If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how men would believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! 

But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"He Clothed the heavens With Sackcloth" ~ Holy Bible
