Today's Meditation(s):

Meditations, 8.51 (Hicks and Hicks)

"Here eyes were like limpid pools...." So begins a quote famous in my mind At least. Wasn't until tonight I looked up limpid. Clear. Unclouded. Free from occlusion. Said of water and eyes. 

How can such a peerless stream be soiled long under the purifying spell of eternal renewal? How can an insult or slander harm the inner me without making me complicit in their vices?
