It's unnecessary to try and feel positive. No need to paper over the cracks. Simply bring your Presence and Respect to what you actually do feel and observe what happens. Once we support the flow of our natural process, insight and healing will unfold. All your feelings are important for they tell you about your relationship to your inner and outer worlds. Namaste.

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, 'Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?'"

Then the chief leaned back and smiled.

I am not I
I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see,

and whom at other times I forget;
who remains calm and silent while I talk,
and forgives, gently, when I hate,
who walks where I am not,
who will remain standing when I die. . . . . . . Juan Ramon Jimenenz
