Music To My Ears

A note about human compassion.

 Have you ever heard the voice of compassion?  I don't mean sympathy or understanding, or active listening responses.  I mean the sound of compassion in a person's voice.
I heard it last night.  She was talking, just briefly, about the oil spill disaster.  It was just a couple of sentences, suggesting that we all hold a good thought for the people, the animals, and the water in that region.  I heard, in her tone of voice, true and simple and real, compassion.  It was a beautiful sound.
Maybe if you listen for it, you'll get to hear that sound sometime.
