Jill Joy - Compassion in this World - oil on canvas - 48x60” - Available
We need compassion now more than ever. For those who are suffering and being further marginalized by our new government and for ourselves as we see our values dismantled and our hopes for a more equitable, kinder society fade from view.
Compassion is a transcendent quality that goes beyond the limitations of our individual egos and connects us with the wider world. It involves feeling empathy for the suffering of others and a desire to alleviate that suffering. It's a quality that inspires us to act selflessly, to put the needs of others before our own, and to reach out to those who are struggling, even if they are strangers.

Compassion has the power to heal the divisions and conflicts that so often tear us apart. When we are compassionate, we see the humanity in others, regardless of their race, religion, or culture. We recognize that we are all part of the same human family, and we are all in this together. It creates a mystical connection - which is what this painting seeks and strives to communicate. They mystical connection between ourselves, nature, each other and the divine.
Compassion has the ability to break down the barriers of fear and mistrust that keep us apart and create a sense of connection and belonging that is essential to our well-being.
Compassion is important because it helps us to cultivate positive qualities like patience, kindness, and forgiveness. It can inspire us to be more mindful and present in our interactions with others, which in turn can deepen our relationships and make us more resilient in the face of adversity.
In a world that can often feel disconnected and divided, compassion is more important than ever.
