Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. By Melvin McLeod), Taking Care of Your Anger

The analogy of the air conditioner slowly changing a room's air works for me. I really see what Thich Nhat Hanh is getting at here.

And sorely needed was the admonition to be patient with long-standing, deep-seated angers, those with whom acceptance is glacial.

Ive been trying in my reflections and meditations each day lately to lean away from the battle oriented mindset I call usual, to the change through acceptance mindset present by Thich Nhat Hanh.

I like it because, much like my principle of putting things positively if possible, it recast the whole process into one of cooperation and working together. If I can learn to do this with myself, it will make it easier to do the same with others.
