Today's Meditation:

A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy (trans. Cockrell)

Innocence allows for joy, but is it sufficient? Perhaps. In my appetency, I cannot know.

=====

Wise Thoughts for Every Day by Leo Tolstoy (ed. and trans. Sekirin)

How central is forgiveness. It unburdens the psyche (soul / heart / mind), freeing me to become better.

"Why are you still carrying her?" becomes "Why am I still carrying it*?"

Let. It. Go.

=====

* 'it' = the sins committed against me that I allow to undermine my serenity, my happiness, my innocent joy at life
