There are days where the journalling is more difficult than others. Today is one of those days. I try to keep my journal focused on gratitude and mindfulness but today it is proving difficult for me to put aside the righteous rage that can overpower me when mindfulness exposes things that should shame us all. Poverty and war fill the news while I live my life in coddled isolation, almost oblivious to that harsh reality, shielded by my birthright.
One of my favourite quotes from Bruce Lee helps ground me on my rage days.
“Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.” - Bruce Lee (1940 - 1973)
