TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE


"May we refrain from feeding fear and hate, which will only spread dis-ease among us like a metastasizing cancer, and instead nourish ourselves and the whole world body with great doses of healing love, compassion, respect, and listening to understand."

                            ~ Charlene Costanzo


The above is from something I posted on Facebook a few days ago and is related to a recent touchstone.


As I continue to heal from my surgery for breast cancer - and having healed from lymphoma, another form of cancer, 16 years ago - I can't help but see connections between how we respond to the growth of cancer cells in the human body and cancer-like growth of troubled people in our world.

Instead of raging against what threatens us - be it confused cells or confused people - we need to commit ourselves to regularly fostering well-being and harmony, in ourselves and everywhere. I readily admit that I very much need to do this myself.

Today's intention is this: May we bring wisdom and higher perspectives to every challenge we face. 

As Einstein said:


"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

and

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." 


Instead of looking for answers only in our heads, with the human mind - as brilliant as it can be - we so very much need the wisdom of our hearts.​​​​​​​

From the heart,

Charlene
