EDITOR’S LETTER There is something that I believe in very strongly, and that is the power of compassion. To practice compassion daily is what will ultimately create that deeper connection with others, and the long term happiness that we all crave. It is defined as recognizing our shared suffering, and wishing for it to be alleviated. The best way to live a compassionate life is to start with yourself. To better understand the suffering of others, we must first recognize our own. Do not confuse that with self pity, which creates a downward spiral. Recognize your suffering for what it is, be aware of it, and allow yourself to fully experience it. Don’t suppress the anger, frustration or sadness. Just be. Then you let go. Let go of those ideals that you hold in your mind, the way you should act, the way you should think or feel. When you let go of the expectations of what you should be, then you can become who you are meant to be. Fully experiencing suffering, and empathizing with those who suffer as we do, creates a connection. Our shared emotions and experiences are what bring us together, and create a feeling of communality. Practicing compassion is also practicing vulnerability; it’s difficult, and it’s scary, but healing. That is why I chose COMPASSION for this month’s theme, to further explore our connection with others, and our relationship with ourselves. Artists have a way of portraying an emotion without saying much, and the one’s featured in this issue have done an incredible job doing so. I hope you enjoy our November Issue as much as I enjoyed creating it.

“Healing can begin if Muslims and non-Muslims respect each other as brothers, sisters and friends. It is time for people all around the world to look deeply into their belief and realize how similar we actually are.�
