recent hours

… I wish that, in addition to seeing the other person’s point of view, we could see our own actions. Maybe it’s simple. I mean, probably it’s not, but tonight things look like this. There’s the mind part and the body part of every person – mind being spirit; perspective if you will – while the exhibited part is the body; the actions. Most simply put, a person will argue their mind while professing to understand the other person’s perspective (often. Sometimes we’re more honest than that, and admit to not seeing. But often their perspective really is quite obvious, and easily understood.) So we have our mind to guide our actions in response to their actions and mind, both of which we can see … but what we can’t see – that is, the component of the situation that is not receiving direct feedback from our mind – is our own action. We act in response – from our perspective, et cetera, but don’t end up evaluating our own actions until it’s “too late.”

There’s your common sense bite for the day: think about what you’re doing/saying.

Although I have to say: don’t expect that to become a regular thing! Frankly, that’s a tone that pleads the lack of something rather than appreciating its presence when it does appear, and I would rather appreciate than plead.
The word is conscientious (though it sounds just so pretentious) – situation play. Pay attention? to today (which was covered in grace, by the way).
Have your tomorrow and share it with somebody.
