Compassion's Faithful Friend

I like to think we all learn compassion from those patient enough to share. They are the truest gift. They are family. If you're lucky to catch a Medicine hat Appaloosa's glance.. then you'll know the truth. A view of paradise in eye's reflection, perhaps your own soul staring back at you.

Knock me back & roll over! Perfectly stunning -inn more ways than one. And wanted to add I’ve learned about some compassion from my dogs. Oddly not from med professionals. Animals tho see the core for their own defense. Great to meet you. I must Follow. Merry Christmas! Sally

Your own reflection seen here Richard? A fading quality these days it would seem. Lovely dear sir.
