The amazing David Breaux stands on a corner near UC Davis everyday, asking people to write in his notebook about what they think about compassion. To be there, he has given up job, car, security. His life is devoted to asking people to think about compassion; in doing so, he is a daily reminder of what we often take for granted. This is a film about how one simple action can serve to raise the consciousness of an entire community.

    The most significant compassion that I have ever been showen was when someone I knew for a short while in Summer 2002 asked me to tell them about my pain and when I spoke I was listened to with a selfless attention that I havent felt before. This person sort of settled back into there sitting position and just listened, when doing so they looked very, deeply relaxed as if my 'story' was their most interesting preoccupation. I have tried to model the kind of disposition and atmosphere that this person expressed towards me as it really was a precious gift- through another to come to greater self understanding, to experience your self with and sort of through someone else.
