"The first lesson to learn is to resign oneself to the little difficulties in life, not to hit out at everything one comes up against. If one were able to manage this, one would not need to cultivate great power; even one's presence would be healing." 

                             ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan   

Let's hold this "lesson" as a touchstone to guide us this day and help us to live it with grace and ease, in peace and joy. And beauty.

Instead of "hitting out" at all the little things that seem to get in our way, let's aim to be present, patient, and kind in the situation. In so doing, we may very well be a source for healing. And happiness.

So be it,
Charlene
