Interconnectedness, Grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as Interconnectedness does, this complex world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that I can perceive goodness and rightness, Even as I surrender to Complexity; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with All Forever and ever in the next. Amen. Original attributed to Reinhold Neibuhr (1892-1971) Italicized changes for my spiritual path.

Over the years, I've learned: Words can scar more deeply than stones. The spoken word cannot be unsaid. Such will echo, sometimes unceasingly, for years. Psychological noise leads to stunted development. What is left unsaid creates a vacuum; without oxygen, life is impossible. The written word, however, can be drafted, made real, remain unsent. Stationary stationery becomes compost, fertilizing growth.
