Howdy all!

SuperForester Jon Rubinstein, (who writes Adventures in Compassion (in the Screen Trade)) has a panel in contention for one of the slots at the upcoming South by Southwest festival. Jon is hoping to create a conversation about compassion and how it has a role in acting, writing, and directing.

Jon is convinced that taking on compassion as a way of life is the key to the most extraordinary career and life possible. If you believe that’s something worth talking about, click here and vote for his panel. If it’s selected, Jon will find some smart people to join him in Austin in March, to talk about compassion, the arts, and what Buddha had to say about it all.

Good luck, Jon!

Over at Jon Rubinstein’s wonderful blog, Adventures in Compassion in the Screen Trade, he’s got a breakthrough post up about compassion, Journey, youtube, bodhisatva’s, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Steve Perry’s epic hair.

“Dare I say that Avalokitesvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, is present in the remakes of Journey’s Separate Ways? Yes, I say, yes.

When we watch the best of these videos, we are watching someone who’s been there. I’m just sure of it. All teen angst-y, locked away in his room, looking for reruns of Night Court. And then, later on, able to look at that teen angst, that pre-Morrissey heartbreak, and maybe just chuckle a little bit.

So we can sometimes be compassionate to ourselves by stopping the mind chatter and laughing, by watching someone exaggerate behavior we, ourselves, have taken on. We’ve all been like Steve Perry, wrapped up in our… journey… (sorry). And sometimes, we need to laugh and get over our seriousness.”

Check out Adventures in Compassion! An excellent read!
