230728 What I learned in my studies this morning 3*

The boy, the mole, the

Fox and the Horse, trudge through the

Silent passing fields.

Thoughts:

(I forgot to finish this one yesterday.)

I already have everything I need, I just don't believe it.

It's one thing to say it, another to live it.

I still buy too many things. I still want stuff. I still find reasons to justify buying just one. more. must. have. item.

Maybe it's because I feel that I'll get there someday. I don't feel a sense of urgency. — Lord, grant me chastity and continence . . . but not yet. (Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo.) - St. Augustine, Confessions, book 8, chapter 7 — the plea of an honest sinner who struggles with temptation and insufficient resolution. 

I know what I need to do, but do not yet have the courage to do it.
