When I come to this space or anywhere, I speak for myself, of myself only.  It’s all about me.  Sometimes I even have trouble knowing my true self, so how can I speak for or of anyone else?  In the same vein, I can only change myself.  I can only change the things I do not like about myself.  I can’t do a darn thing about what I don’t like about other people, things and events.  But changing myself can cause a chain of other changes.  My aha moment of the moment.

The world was too much with/for me today.  There wasn’t a thing I could do about it.  I couldn’t change the brilliance of the sun.  I couldn’t make people be quiet.  I couldn’t….I couldn’t.  So I went within myself, quieted my thoughts, slowed down my breathing and let go of the world.  I listened to the voice of Jon Kabat-Zinn as he guided me through the body scan.
