Why I support the Compassion Coalition
Sympathetic Resonance:
All day, I feel the throbbing
of other lives, other pain,
as if I’m a string on the piano
that goes unplayed, and yet
vibrates when the hammer
strikes other strings, and then—
your ache, my ache,
two strings, one song.
–Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
