I'm comfortable in my skin today. I won't ever understand why people react the way they do to -sincere- concern and advice, but I can't change them ... only my reaction. Gentle acceptance is the lesson for today, even if what's to be accepted is in no way itself gentle or easy to deal with.

A curandero, and a close friend, once told me to trust your good work and let go. I now realize that this is why Buddhism has a whole school of "ethics" built into its system. If a person tries his or her hardest to act gentle and upright the person can take comfort in knowing that good work is going out and being let go of.

Lord knows we can all use a little comfort in our lives.
