Foreward / Opening Thoughts

This book is about the practice of mercy. I am going to “bang the drum” loudly for compassion, kindness, love, justice and mercy.

We have a sacred calling, an unmistakable obligation, an inescapable responsibility and a beautiful opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Open Hands, pages 1-4.
