Walk a mile in my shoes

Know what it's like to be me, whatever "I" am!
Understand me
Through experience of me, as me
Can you do that?
Be imaginative.
What do you see, hear, feel?
Now give me back my shoes!

Ask and it is given

That's what we're told.
Do you believe it?
Do you feel it?
Do you Will it?
From whom does it come?
Are you sure?
Then, so be it!

Interesting!

And then what?
What happens after our initial interest wanes?
Further exploration.
Provided interest is maintained.
Desire being a key component.
For more of the same, or similar.
And it's OK if we fancy doing or being something different!

We know when we're touched

Physically.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Reaching out with a compassionate heart takes courage.
Always being compassionate with myself and others is not something I find easy to do.
I may feel it, but many of us Brits have been 'taught' not to show it.
How would the world be if we all behaved compassionately?

It's just not possible ...

To be inquisitive all of the time!
Or, is it?
In 7 Words, we say mastery is balancing all 7 all of the time.
A tall order.
And a worthy aim.
I'm still learning.
And it's a great adventure.

We are what we eat

Isn't that what people say?
What does it mean?
What we eat affects how we feel.
As does how we eat it!
An attitude of gratitude helps.
Together with taking care of food production and consumption.
It's all part of taking care of ourselves.

Going out for lunch

Not an excuse to over-indulge
An experience to be savoured
For the pleasure it brings
Good food, good company, pleasant surroundings
One course is enough
No need for more
Delight in sufficiency and restraint.
