“Compassion is an action word with no boundaries.”

Prince

I have to admit that I loved Prince and his music, he sang the soundtrack of my youth. As cliché as it sounds, it is true. His untimely death surprised me for a multitude of reasons,  but most off all for the strength of its impact. How can someone I have never met leave me feeling so sad and empty?

Again comes that question that threads through me often, what is the measure of a life? Is it using the gifts you have been given to help another? Sharing your God-given talents with world? Taking what you have to lift up another?

I heard this interview on CNN the other day and thought that it spoke volumes to who Prince was and the measure of his compassion. He helped so many everyday of his life but never told anyone.

Alicia Keys said,  “There were many Kings in rock and roll but only one Prince.” It was so true.
