Living through empathy is a way of living and a
way of being that regardless of our individual
religious beliefs, supports us in experiencing
each and every moment from a place of deep
and profound connectedness and relatedness
with all aspects of life itself.

This deep and profound connectedness within
ourselves will in turn be reflected in our
relatedness and our connection with our external
world. True empathy supports us in becoming
fully awake and fully present.

Being fully present involves intimacy, and to
truly thrive and to engage with life at its fullest
involves an intimacy with all aspects of living.

Empathy brings about a deeply intimate
connection with life, a deeply spiritual
experience of what it means to be alive.

When we live through empathy, we are
intimately and deeply involved in relationship
with life itself.

When we live through empathy we retain our
ability to experience life with the openness and
awe of a child, walking hand in hand with an
adult whose perspective stems from the wisdom
of a life being lived.
