Day 115k: Another day gone, another dance Done … (August 22, 2019)

And then the rains receded in one direction, and the Sun as well in the other. And the night began to gather around me, as I walked ever onward for Peace …

Your body is your garden, and your will its gardener. Let your former bloom beautifully by letting your latter rule boldly … Avoid allowing the expectations and opinions of others affect your decisions. This is your life, after all, not theirs. And you are the only one who will carry the consequences of not living it to the fullest. So do what matters most to you – and remember that what matters most to You is always that which brings the most to others – even those others who would tell you otherwise. Do what makes you feel most alive and happy – and remember that what makes us all feel most alive and joyful is caring for those who need our caring the most (who are often even the ones who seem least deserving of the same). Indeed, if you allow others tell you who you are &/or control what you do, you end up living their reality — not yours, and end up soaking in their fears, instead of transcending your own. There is so much more to this potentially glorious existence than obeying others’ rulings or following others’ pathways or caving to others’ criticisms. Cast all those aside, and Live your Life of Love today!” ~ inspired by Shakespeare & Roy T. Bennett
