From an excerpt titled:
"Just for today"
What do we really need to be happy today?
What do we really need to find peace in day-to-day life?
All too often, we tend to blame outer circumstances for not allowing us to be happy or for failing to provide what we need for peace. We blame other people, we blame the weather, we blame the media. But, unfortunately, pointing the finger of blame anywhere "out there" is nothing more than self-deception which impedes the discovery of the inner wonders of true happiness and enduring peace which are to be found deep within the calm, pure depths of your own loving heart.
The incessant chatter of the mind is an attractive nuisance which obscures the calm and peace of our own true nature. The most troublesome situations often arise when we begin to pay too much attention to that chatter and begin to mistakenly believe that our thoughts about "me" and "mine" describe who we are. Our thoughts are not who we are. Our thoughts about "me" and "mine", "who I am" and "what I need", are merely a cover, a veil, over the inner beauty which is our true nature.
The undisciplined mind often portrays life as an onslaught of menacing trials and tribulation all impinging upon "me", while the same events, when viewed from a calmer, quieter perspective, stripped of all undue concern about "me", become a playful panorama of opportunities and wonders unfolding with miraculous grace.
