Acceptance
To see clearly; that isto see things as they really are
We must first break the chain between the
precept and the concept
This break comes after the senses connect with
the object of perception and before the
flywheel of mental habit boxes that perception
into stale cubby holes of thought and feelings
Seeing anger clearly is to be Angry
With the right person
At the right degree
At right time
For the right purpose
In the right way
Gratitude

Words of WisdomWhen I was five years old my mother told me
"HAPPINESS is the key to Life'
When I went to school I was asked to write down
what I wanted to be when I grow up
I wrote down "HAPPY"
They told me I didn't understand the assignment
I TOLD THEM THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND LIFE
