it takes courage..

Getting to know oneself in every way or choosing to ignore?

Light of awareness or stay in trance?

Listening and observing the call or flag or rejecting and or avoiding the uncomfortable?

Gandhi spent a full day of meditation a week so that all his actions would come from an awake and aware place. How wise to oneself that much to give a full day of contemplation.. 

We should listen, acknowledge, validate, observe objectively, reason AND then act. 

We can't do that if we don't pause. 

I need, and many of us too, to pause and do the work before reacting. Before doing something that is not from the purest place of our hearts.
