![]() A comforting love story of two humble people who accept who they are, both as individuals and as a couple. They have talents, but are not proud. They live, putting one step in front of the other. Compassion for those who, seeing beauty and sadness of their lives, are able to create love out of the truth of it. ![]() Compassion for the life children are born into, the external events that happen to them, and the myriad ways they react. This seems to be the response I am having to each of the books I have read so far. But it doesn’t end with compassion; I am humbled. How can I judge? How I dare I assume to know what another should do? ![]() Compassion for the time and location where we are born. Marie-Laure, born in France, blind at age six, taught, led and loved by her father.Werner, an orphan in Germany, an expert in fixing radios. Both with such resilience in the midst of World WarII, which was filled with kindness and brutality. What do we choose to do with the only life we are given? I believe we have choice, but do we always make the best one? At the moment, yes, but in retrospect, not always so. |
