If you want others to be happy, practice compassio

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion," - the Dalai Lama

Most nights, after dinner, just as our beautiful bright light is setting, I say a prayer while petting Florence. I pray for all those who are suffering. I pray they feel my love and know that they are not forgotten. I pray for their suffering to end. That they know their lives matter.

I pray that this collective message of love and compassion is heard. That we see how our choices directly impact our bodies, our fellow earthlings, and the environment. If we fill our bodies with fear, pain, and suffering, the feelings that all animals have before they are killed, we place those emotions into our bodies. We become what we eat. It's not my place to judge or preach but rather spread love, joy, and compassion.

Florence was born on a factory farm, he was bred and raised for someone's plate. Despite enduring immense hardship, his heart never hardened. His personality and desires are not uncommon, but his life of freedom is. A life where he can feel the sun on his face, do zoomies because he can, and decide where he wants to take his afternoon naps. A life few pigs ever experience. Had he not escaped his first life, he would have been killed at six months old. This October, we'll be celebrating six years together!

My prayers of compassion are simple and obtainable. May this message be heard in many hearts so that compassion and joy can be found.
With love,
Florence & Tori
