Day Fifty-Four: Perspective

“I never met anybody who couldn’t learn something”
– Charles Manson

Through meditation, I am learning that just as when my thoughts lead me to feel that my mind needs to go somewhere while I am trying to still my mind; in my daily life, when I feel that I need to react to something in action because my thoughts are jumping from one conclusion to another, I, too, need to step outside of myself and observe: what is my hurry?  What end am I trying to reach?  Where will this choice lead me to next?  Why does this seem so important right now?
