to find deeper powers
within ourselves
come when life seems most challenging.
Negativism
to the pain and ferocity of life
is negativism to life.
We are not there
until we can say
"yea" to it all.
To take a righteous attitude
toward anything is to denigrate it.
Awe is what moves us forward.
As you proceed through life,
following your own path,
birds will shit on you.
Don't bother to brush it off.
Getting a comedic view
of your situation
gives you spiritual distance.
Having a sense of humor saves you.
]]>The secret is to start small. Perhaps you begin your day with three deep breaths and this becomes your dedicated self-help practice each morning. Soon enough you will find your conscious mind realizing that if something as simple as a deep breath can help regulate your nervous system, it'll start seeking other activities and customs to emphasize inner peace and tranquillity.
Start small.
