Beautiful and I agree fully heartedly! Let’s build the bridges and be the example of what compassion looks like.

I know no other way, it is where my heart leads me. Being compassion and that begins with me and then flows out to the world

I believe when it is meant to be the world will know a whole new way of being and leading through our hearts. 💕

So powerful. So many people choose to focus on their differences instead of what they actually have in common. Focusing on hate instead of love. Revenge instead of forgiveness. Thank you for being a bright light and bridge builder of love in this world! 💜💜

Simone, this such a soul felt writing.

While your original subject was the world, I could draw parallels and put ourselves as the world. The two sides of us, the shadow and the light, the past and the future, the good and the bad, the wrong and the right, the accepted and the suppressed, the known and the unknown - all of it needs to be connected by building a compassionate bridge.

Thank you writing this from your heart and soul. 🙏

Thank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt addition to the post Janki 🙏🏻❤️

It sure has so many parallels, if can build compassionate bridges inside of us it is easier to do it also in and for the world ❤️

Simone, this is incredibly moving and brilliant. Your vulnerability and hope shine through every line. Building Bridges is such a powerful call for unity, a reminder that meeting in the middle isn’t weakness, but wisdom. Your words gave me that same spark of hope you described. Thank you for using your voice to plant seeds of peace in such a divided world. I’ll be sharing this, the world needs more messages like this one. ✨🖋️❤️❤️❤️😁😍
