Spirit tells me that, at a grass-roots level, compassion is as

Sophisticated a way as any to express genuine care.

Gentle words of love and caring serve a need, both to the

Giver and to the one receiving, but only when the words

Are supported by caring deeds can they at least seem

To be genuine expressions.

Compassion is a beautiful word that expresses a deep but

Simple emotion, genuine care for someone or something.

But, saying it is never enough. We need to support our

Caring words with caring actions.

I could still be pretending.

Yes.
