are never what a video camera would have recorded.

while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

You are not your mind. You, a Spiritual BEing,
are neither your mind nor your body.
Mind and body are your tools - to use as you choose.
Sometimes your body appears to have a will of its own,
as when it twitches or pains.
Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

shows that one's education is complete.

one is nourished, one dies - neither failed.

into the identity and nature of admirably human qualities.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
