Patience is wider than one once envisioned,
with ribbons of rivers and distant ranges
and tasks undertaken and finished
with modest relish by natives in their
native dress.
-Kay Ryan (1945-)

MBG:5 Daily Mantras To Get Through The Tougher Anxious Moments
During these troublesome and uncertain times, it’s important to control our anxious thoughts. One way to do this is by being kind to ourselves (yes, it matters). Speaking loving and supportive words to ourselves is calming, much like a parent reassures a child.

Daily Dream Meaning: Chocolate
If the dream is positive – such as enjoying some chocolates with a friend or lover – then this is a symbol for happiness and contentment. If, however, you dream of a stomachache or toothache resulting from eating chocolate, you need to curb overindulgence in foods of any kind.

Daily Good: Erich Fromm: The Antidote to Helplessness and Disorientation
“To be human is to be a miracle of evolution conscious of its own miraculousness — a consciousness beautiful and bittersweet, for we have paid for it with a parallel awareness not only of our fundamental improbability but of our staggering fragility, of how physiologically precarious our survival is and how psychologically vulnerable our sanity. To make that awareness bearable, we have evolved a singular faculty that might just be the crowning miracle of our consciousness: hope.” { read more }

Elephant Journal: These are the Things the Coronavirus will Teach Us—if we Let It.
It was only a few weeks ago that I was one of the millions of skeptics.
I thought that this “virus” was simply a cold and it could not be any worse than influenza, which also kills thousands of people each year.
Now, a few weeks later, I am sitting in disbelief at just how quickly things have turned.

Inner Journey:
INNER CRITICS
“We tell ourselves so many lies and half-truths … We listen and are duly impressed by these inner voices that turn into unseen judges that nag at us. We give each of these judges a seat of honor in our minds, all the while hating their guts and their never-ending supply of judgements … We give the judges permission to accompany us on each journey of life, never daring to realize that we can park them, at least momentarily.”
— Eloise Ristad
“The Inner Critic makes each of us a child. As we become the child in our relationships, we lose our sense of self. We are no longer self-contained, self- respecting adults. We look to others for validation. Our self-worth is based upon their opinion of us. Thus, everyone around us becomes a mother or a father whose support and approval is desperately needed to protect us from the constant criticism of the Inner Critic.”
— Hal and Sidra Stone

A Note from the Universe
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Have I mentioned that everyone knows exactly what you’re thinking?
How else could you draw new friends from the unseen? How else would your heroes, heroines, and scoundrels know when to appear, or move on? How else would your “stars” get their cues?
True, they think their own thoughts, too. How else would you know who to cast in each scene?
Just thinking of you, and your power to choose.
Enthralled,
The Universe

Daily Wisdom

Mystery
“Mystery is not the denial of reason but its honest confirmation: reason, indeed, leads inevitably to mystery…: mystery and reality are the two halves of the same sphere.”
-Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
It seems like we don’t even know what we don’t know! There is just so much to learn, so much to comprehend – so much that we don’t understand. And when we find a new topic of study, we learn a little bit and it opens up a whole bunch of questions! In that way mystery is beautiful. It lets us know that there is always more to be revealed.
-Lissa Coffey
