Today's Meditation Meditations , 8.7 (Hicks and Hicks) Reason clearly. Help others.  Change what I can. Love what I cannot. That's only four things. Easy peasy....  Concentrating on a limited set of precepts lets me focus my energy, more easily discovering the Tao of the moment. Not that it will be easy. Choices can still be grueling. Options can still force me to exclude something I desperately want or need or which is patently good in favor of an option better still or more important. It. Can. Still. Suck . . . challenging me to embrace my fate and the state of the world around me. A lesson I truly need to work on.

Today's Meditation: Meditations , 8.5 (Hicks and Hicks) Being a good person, following Nature, pursuing virtue . . . . I can still be kind. I can still be gentle. Still quiet, respectful, and dignified.  I can use my philosophy to be better in all ways, especially those which help me treat others well and help my community.
