June 22--The Work Is Inside

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and hands, and then work outward from there.  --Robert M. Pirsig

    Well, dang. Something tells me that it would be a lot easier to change YOU rather than ME. But dang again, it doesn't work that way. That's why the Serenity Prayer is a mantra for so many folks:

Note that when I say the prayer, instead of beseeching God for serenity, I say it affirmatively: "God grants me..." That way I am not waiting on God to deliver. I have serenity if I choose to recognize it.

    Folks who are at war with themselves cannot create peace in the world.
