Natural Anger, Natural Desire
Anger is born of frustrated desire
Avoiding anger or refusing desire
Create within us unexpressed emotion
As naturally occurring human emotions, anger and desire must find expression.
Rather than impossibly resisting their flow
Yield to their path
Through which beauty emerges.

Where are we going?
It’s important to know where we are going, otherwise we might end up somewhere else.

Give Something Away
The first motivation for giving something away is not that we no longer need it, it’s that someone else does.

Self Respect
Quote AA Bill Wilson
The value of earning our own self-respect.
Apology
The art of apology – is a correction of question. In the “both/and” world, the question is when to apologize. In the “either/or” world, the question is whether to apologize. Which world am I living in when I apologize? The one in which I ingratiate myself to make myself feel better, to appease my people-pleasing addiction, to manipulate the human dynamic with the use of apology; or the world I prefer, the one in which my question takes into account both/all humans involved when I offer my apology?

Choose Hope Over Worry
“Hope is not aimless positive thinking that grins when everyone else is grieving. It’s a confident expectation that there are answers.”
Don Miller, Editor, Santa Cruz Sentinel
By the laws of nature we know that the vast majority of caterpillars entering into the depth of the cocoon emerge in beauty. There is an answer in the darkness.
