If we become aware that someone is sending thoughts of ill will in our direction, we do not argue with the apparent reality of malice. To do so would give it more substance. We remove the personal sense of ourself and the other person.

We are not trying to abide the darkness. We are choosing to sit where it is sunny and warm

We may talk lightly but never carelessly. We keep at bay the flow of common, ignorant thought which runs its damaging course through the pathways of ordinary human conversation.

Most of our battle is asking the right question. Growth always requires the questioning of one’s current position.

No lazy mind comes to poetry. For poetry goes where we are reluctant to travel. Travel we must.

Our thoughts and prayers have so much power. If people realised this, they would be much more careful where they let their thoughts drift.
