The path of finding compassion, again.

    “At times I almost dream.
    I too have spent a life the sage’s way.
    And tread once more familiar paths.
    Perchance I’ve perished in an arrogant self-reliance
    an age ago, and in that act of prayer
    for one more chance went up so earnest, so…
    Instinct with better light let in by death
    that life was blotted out not so completely,
    but scattered wrecks, enough of it to remain
    dim memories. As now, one seems
    once more…
    the goal in sight again.”
    ~Paracelsus, Robert Browning
