Compassion is not a single trait but a kind of braided set of capacities that offers another human an experience of being met, seen and understood on a deep level.

The English word compassion comes from the Latin term compassio, built from ‘com’ (meaning with, together) and passio (meaning suffering, from the word pati, to suffer).

So, its original sense is literally “to suffer with.”

Compassion is at the heart of 946 space because each of these survival strategies has developed a particular set of capacities that in combination, make it (in my view) the archetype most capable of suffering with another.

It is mid-January and a mixture of icy clear sunny days, sideways sleeting rain, and bleak fog. The festivals of light are behind us and here in South England it feels more wintery than it did before they lay ahead of us. With this moon I hope to bring you some hope, in the form of another very seasonal tree. I hope to bring you something of the spirit of Holly.
