3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
There's a hush in my mind right now and it's most blissful! With the mental disruption of the Saturday Incident easing, balance is restored and I'm feeling that internal silence I have long sought. Were it not for loved ones counting on me, it might be a good day to die, at peace with self, but that wouldn't be so agreeable for the ones to whom I make a difference.

I will therefore carry on making a difference for the moment, out of love and service, even though I myself have nothing left to want. It's been a long traumatic time coming, but my mind is now how I want it, and I shall simply savour it.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Without dialogue, humans are fated to walk in the darkness of their own dogmatic self-righteousness. Dialogue is the lamp by which we dispel that darkness, lighting and making visible for each other our steps and the path ahead.
