when I close my eyes...

When I close my eyes I see the way the world can be, should be.

I struggle each day to remember the lessons my teachings have shown me...Patience, Kindness and Tolerance.

I am patient with most everyone but I often have a hard time being patient with myself. This might be my most difficult lesson. Through patience, I have learned to truly be still and to pay close attention to what goes on around me.

Kindness is easy. It is something that comes from within and is contagious. If you are kind to others they will, in turn, wish to show kindness to someone else. They will tell their friends and they will tell two friends and so on and so on...

Tolerance is the tough one lately! I remind myself that in order to understand and practice tolerance you should start with your enemy. It is hardest there and a complex lesson to grasp.

This world may not be perfect but, I can make my egocentric world the best it can be, by being the best version of myself.

I know I am on the road I am supposed to be traveling.
