Remembering Compassion

"Teach us, Great Spirit, to walk the soft earth as relatives of all that live." Lakota Prayer

I watched the Belief series on the OWN (Oprah) channel and was fascinated.  I loved the respectful way she approached every form of belief, even those quite alien to me -- the people who jump from 65 foot towers with vines tied to their ankles that, hopefully, stop them before they hit the ground.  They do this because they believe it will assure a good crop.  While that may seem an unusual belief to some of us, is it really any more unusual than some of our beliefs?  Probably not.  The point is, of course, to respect the beliefs of all other paths -- because there is truth in many forms.
