A post today from another RP member brought to mind this quote:

"Open yourself to discomfort.

Meet it with mercy, not fear.
Recognize that when our pain most calls for our embrace, we often are least present.

Soften, enter and explore,
and continue softening to make room for your life...

Take each breath as though it may be the last.....

Practice living."

Hi how are you Sherri.As I mentioned before I've been writing since age 15. I've discovered that at any age people will always choose to be mean.Nowadays to me its all very ,very good.Human beings can be ignorant A holes regardless of the hood.Like you I learned yoga and meditation many years ago.I try keeping my thoughts in the present not worrying about the past ,future ,or any past Sadistic reality Movie show.I may not be the holiest Christian on Earth buy everyone knows right from wrong regardless of their higher or lower power.My VA psychologist of over 30 years told me to never explain the demeanor of others to yourself.They don't know you.Don't know anything about you so who cares.I finally got my shit together and will soon be with a decent girl,not a lady of the evening ,day or night.Now I can honestly State my life is way more than outta sight .
