230927 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Today's Meditation(s):

This is me. To my potential detriment, I tend to look for, and see, the good in others. I know there are bad actors out there — dealt with some, known others second-hand — but my basic impulse is to like and trust and try to love.

I prefer it this way.

Only in the present is anything under my control, and, in any given instant, that's a very small subset of everything about....

Thankfully, it's the most important few things which could be.
