Meditation of the week
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
Some things I cannot change: my age, who my relatives are, my eye color, my height, my childhood experiences, my inborn talents, my nature, someone else's abuse of alcohol or other drugs, whether the sun will shine, my job history, what I will inherit, how my parents feel, yesterday's lost opportunities, how long I will live, who forgives me, how my parents treated me, how much I am loved, the past.
Some things I can change: the youthfulness of my spirit, who my friends are, my hair color, my weight, my adult experiences, my achievements, my character, my reaction to someone else's use of alcohol or other drugs, whether my eyes will shine, my job possibilities, what I will bequeath, how I feel, my ability to act on today's opportunities, how well I will live, whom I forgive, how I treat my own children, how much I love, the future.

Poem of the Week
Never Mind
that
guests no longer come unannounced
or that the photo album contains pictures
of much younger people than we remember being
never mind that swallows etch Sanskrit
on the wrinkled sky
it's November
and the present is emptying its wine
into our glasses
never mind that we're not touching now
because our shadows are holding hands
in the dark behind our backs
or that the photo album contains pictures
of much younger people than we remember being
never mind that swallows etch Sanskrit
on the wrinkled sky
it's November
and the present is emptying its wine
into our glasses
never mind that we're not touching now
because our shadows are holding hands
in the dark behind our backs
