May I remember that I am here on an Earth ride-along for what amounts to a fraction of a second in the vastness of time, and my life is Too short and unprecedented to waste it on anything or anyone that reduces it to a weight on my shoulders or a mistake to correct. There is much that is out of my control, but I get to decide where my energy goes. There is freedom in that.
