A Beatitude

Roll with it.

You don’t have to explain everything.

You don’t have to fix everything.

You don’t have to control everything.

There is a Mystery.

All the holy writings are about changing you. Not others.

You don’t have to be right.

It’s only your relationships that need to be right.

The world where you are right is about domination.

There is another world where you are in right relationship — with yourself and others.

One is about changing others. One is about changing yourself.

Blessed are those who are persecuted in the pursuit of justice.

Are you persecuted in the pursuit of justice?

Probably not.

Make it so.
