Epiphany

I'm sure I've written about this before, but it has resurfaced in my life:

Love thy neighbor as thyself.

Briefly, this has become so obvious to me again. If I can't love myself, how can I love anyone else. This can also reach further in saying to do more for others than for yourself may be an overstatement. Do for yourself first and in equal proportion as what you do for others. Unlike some in my family who seem to think they must only do for others, I hope to be past that soon.

As ye sew, so shall ye reap.

I used to read tarot cards for myself and for friends. Mind you, this was back in high school. I soon got to the point, however, that I could no longer read for myself. I would invariably draw the cards necessary to make the reading say what ever I wanted it to say. It finally dawned on me 15 years later what this means. I am capable of making it turn out that way. Anything I want, I am capable of getting. Anything I desire, is there for me. All I need do is but stretch forth my hand and take it. (*duh*)

And finally, not everyone is as blind as you'd like them to be.

This is especially true of long time martial artists. *sigh* The brain does work, honest. Once in a while, it's just a little sluggish, especially when distracted by car problems.
