Bodhisattva of compassion

As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
A thousand hands will naturally come to your aid
As long as you are kind and there is love in your heart
You will reach out with a thousand hands to help others

.Guan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion, revered by Buddhists as the Goddess of Mercy. Her name is short for Guan Shi Yin. Guan means to observe, watch, or monitor; Shi means the world; Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of those who suffer. Thus, Guan Yin is a compassionate being who watches for, and responds to, the people in the world who cry out for help.

Carrot cake

I made carrot cake. It was good, but no better than what I have eaten elsewhere. The icing turned out tasty. I used home made quark instead of cream cheese. The texture was a little different. If you looked closely, you could see tiny curds, but it wasn't apparent while eating it. I'll see if I can fix that another time.
