Seeds of Compassion

This last weekend was an amazing weekend for everyone that was in Seattle. Not only did the Dali Lama come to town but also Archbishop Desmond Tutu was here as well.

I watched the city change for this weekend. The sun came out, the traffic was slow because 150,000 people came to see these men. But there was an air of hope and kindness that circled the city. Everyone talked about how amazing it was to see these men, how it made them really think about compassion and how funny these men were. They show their emotion and that allows them to be able to reach out and help people.

I hope this conference will continue and expand. It touched people's lives and should be an everyday event. We should all be more compassionate and laugh more.
