Please come downtown on Monday to show your support and solidarity!  South Seattle has suffered greatly from continuing violence - partly as a result of being under-served in all ways and over-burdened with low income housing which brings many poor people without means of supporting local businesses.  Time for ALL of Seattle to step-up and help the voice of the south end be heard!  Gather at Westlake for a rally at 11 am, march to City Hall and gather there noon to 12:30. …

Yesterday evening a man came by the corner saying he saw the compassion book in the restaurant across the street.

About 20 minutes later he came back and decided to purchase the book. I took the money, gave him his receipt, and asked him if…

Standing Still                                                                                  

by Brenda  Kay Neth

In the Silence of this loss, we are standing still

There is no movement to be made.

But to accept and to see

that we are bound together.

Silenced by the silence

We reach out beyond language and pain

To find there is a world where we can live again

No answers for the violence

But to…

‎"O Lord, bestow upon my soul

the most prestigious status of a Love-Worshiper.

Once my soul is Blessed by Your Love, it will be fully capable and ready to start relaying Your Love Messages

without even uttering a single word. 

Even though the tongue is always used to better explain things,

the silent and tongueless 

Talk of Love

Is the most enlightening of All…

Violent tragedies have repeatedly rocked our city in recent days and months, casting a shadow of darkness in many places throughout the Greater Seattle area.

Compassion is the ultimate human exchange of energy and love.

Compassion is the courage to look beyond what is comfortable for you with the intent of helping someone else. A simple smile…

Foremost, I offer gratitude for being able to write this blog this morning.

On Saturday morning at 12:01am I began the 24-hour Compassion Marathon at the corner. The marathon consisted of being at the corner the whole day Saturday. As soon as I sat down and completed the usual routine of settling in at the corner, someone came by and sat down next to me saying that he saw me there all the time and wanted to talk and find out what I do there. Mind you, this is around midnight,…

The tragic mass murder this week in Seattle is disturbing on many levels. But the actions of bystanders responding to the still-shocking circumstances shows an important contrast — that good people can step up and make a difference.

HOPE is still alive in the city. Last…
