I can’t say I always understand her but I do love and admire
and seek after the mystic, poet, theologian, teacher, Simone Weil. A quote of
hers that always helps me—when I remember it --is this:
“Compassion directed to oneself is humility.”
Isn’t that a surprise? But then when you pause, of course.
Compassion directed to oneself is humility. A prescription for caregivers. Too
saintly caring for others? That’s not humility. Compassion directed to oneself.
