Three Beginnings to the Day
The first beginning, coming out of sleep. The second beginning, settling down for meditation. The third beginning, the crystal bowl.

Flow

I have the ability to imagine anything I want. I learned to prepare for the worst so I got really good at imagining worse-case scenarios.

Growing older indeed involves growing wiser. I learn from each challenge instead of resisting. It’s the flow in and out that’s important.
