Dear God

Dear God.....
.I know that right now I am supposed to be working on the whole compassion thing - learning that I am not so seperate from everyone else.

I have been working on it, I swear .... praying for others when I am angry or sad, attempting to breathe in pain and breath out healing and peace.

I know, also, that big obastacles and challenges are a teaching tool - and how it is easy to pray and have compassion when nothing big is on the line....

But please God, slow it down a bit. I'm quite new at this compassion work, and I think you may be throwing the hard stuff at me a little too fast.

Love,

Shaun
