250519 What I learned in my studies this morning 5*

Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Ruling the Five Skandhas

Recognize it. Accept it. Put it aside for a moment. Make the best decision you can under that time-out, that pause that lets you act instead of react.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Viktor Frankl (attributed)

"I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Frank Hebert (Dune)
