about everyday “news”

So many things are happening in the world, and although I don’t read newspapers — the news still comes. Have you noticed that the news is rarely uplifting? That being the case, it’s up to us to see the goodness of life in all its forms and let it infect family, friends, community, city, country, world. I don’t believe life is meant to be a drag and when we’re aware of how everyday news can dissipate our energy, and leave us feeling sad, fearful, anxious, sick, we can take steps to bring things into balance so that our view of life is not lopsided. There’s no balance in the news so it’s up to us to produce it in our own life.

“As long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.” -Paramahansa Yogananda

“Be undisturbed by a situation and it will fall away of its own weight. There is an occult law of indifference, ‘None of these things move me. None of these things disturb me. ‘ ” -Florence Scovel Shinn

“Come to the edge he said.
They said, ‘we are afraid.’
‘Come to the edge.’ he said.
They came.
He pushed them. . .
And they flew.”
-Guillaume Apollinaire
