Today's Meditation(s):

Enchiridion 12 (Waterfield)

What is worth my peace of mind?

Is it my choice? Or is it an unstoppable passion that can only be interrupted, not preempted? Are there levels?

I can't answer any of these questions.

My guess is there are levels: some impressions can be foreseen and preparations can be made. They likely don't catch me off guard and can be nipped before they bud.

Others shock and surprise me: temporarily overwhelming me and my recovery period is related to how well I practiced my lessons beforehand.
