'You find in solitude only what you take to it'
- Juan Ramon Jimenez
If I force preconceived notions onto a problem, what can I learn? To learn something new, I need an open mind, a trusting mind which can wander into places that once frightened me.
Rather than suppress thoughts and feelings, it is better to give them a good airing, to look at them in the clear light of day. Unattended, hidden feelings, like illusions, once defeated me. Today, I know that feelings cannot hurt me as long as I'm willing to look at them and see them for what they are.
FOR TODAY: What I bring to my moments of solitude, when I look inward at my feelings and attidues, is self-honesty and openmindedness.
Hmmmm….
