Only during hard times do people come to understand

how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts.

~Anton Chekhov

I simplify, open, and hope with clarity…

inquiry for today~ can it be so?

when it’s time to see clearly….

I try to remind myself that we are never promised anything,

and that what control we can exert is not over the events that befall us

but how we address ourselves to them.

~Jeanne Duprau
