Nothing has greater value than being present to our own consciousness; that itself is an act of love from which we all benefit. Thanks Charles; I’m enriched by your story.

That each moment we have a chance to do or say something loving or not. And that there are a finite number of moments in this life, and if we choose the non-loving action, that is a moment lost. But if we choose the loving words or touch or thought, that moment is somehow not really lost, it is connected to all the other loving moments, past and future. Whether in lives past or lives to come, I can't know. But the loving moments seem to connect to something much less limited and limiting than myself...

The broad path makes one realize just how truly deep, pure, warm and touching love at times can be. Just maybe those moments are glimpses of the enlightened state.

Facing reality, on the other hand, undermines our illusions and clarifies every moment. The cost of not facing it is a mind filled with strategies of avoidance and restless thoughts.

I know what I do, I ignore it, but at what cost? Very interesting, it makes me think what is more dangerous thing to do, facing up to the underlying stress of life or ignoring it?

I know what I do, I ignore it, but at what cost?
