True compassion is more than flinging a coin at a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice that produces beggars needs restructuring.
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On the pavement a group of schoolchildren was walking past the driveway with their teacher. I noticed these young children crossing and suddenly I saw them in a way I have never seen human beings before or since. They were so full of light I could hardly 1ook, and on each child's chest where the heart is, a huge radiance like the sun was shining. Each little child had this dynamic, brilliant light, this radiant sun, ín the center of their being. The experience of the líght, its brillíance and energy, was beautiful and overwhelming. Later I came to realize that what I saw is the true nature of human beings —we are dynamic, luminous creatures of light.
