Pema Chödrön: We Don't Set Out To Save the World


We don’t set out to save the world.
We set out to wonder how other people are doing and 
to reflect on how our actions affect other people’s hearts. 
 - Pema Chödrön
  
********
 May we all grow in our experience of seeing one another, 
of expanding our circles of caring, of opening our hearts 
to include in what we value more and more of life. 
May we have the courage to see our blind spots, 
to illuminate how it is that we may have been unknowingly 
colluding in the harming of ourselves and others. 
 ~ Molly
