Taking Ourselves Less Seriously
Glimpsing nonself clearly, even for one moment, puts ordinary truth in perspective. When the conventional picture returns, we regard it differently. What a relief when we no longer have to take our “selves” so seriously! – Cynthia Thatcher, “Disconnect the Dots “ |

The Key to Happiness
Grace is the key to happiness. When bad things happen, if we have confidence in grace, then we can remain grounded in that and not be overwhelmed by the soap opera of life. And grace is a circular blessing. The more grace enters your life, the more grateful you are. The more grateful you are, the more easily grace seems to enter. – Dharmavidya David Brazier, “Let Grace In” |
