Often The Most Loving Thing We Can Do When A Friend Is In Pain Is To Share The Pain-to Be There Even When We Have Nothing To Offer Except Our Presence And Even When Being There Is Painful To Ourselves.

Good Discipline Requires Time. When We Have No Time To Give Our Children, Or No Time That We Are Willing To Give, We Don't Even Observe Them Closely Enough To Become Aware Of When Their Need For Our Disciplinary Assistance Is Expressed Subtley.

We Cannot Even Let The Other Person Into Our Hearts Or Minds Unless We Empty Ourselves. We Can Truly Listen To Him Or Truly Hear Her Only Out Of Emptiness.
