Three further tidbits from the Rolf Gates and Katrine Kenison book Meditations from the Mat:

• "It is our judgment that defeats us." - (Day 12, quoting from Apocalypse Now)
• "The truth is, we are all so very, very vulnerable, Life is as it is. We don't even have control over the health of our children. The only thing we CAN control is our attitude. We have the choice of life or death, love or fear, in each moment. And we bear the responsibility for that choice in each moment. ..." - (Day 21)
• "... our mind is the sky and our thoughts are the clouds..." - (Day 118)
