Ron Alexander Part of me wishes I would just sail away, like I did when NiXon was president and not listen to news, or read newspapers. I missed the whole Watergate thing, living a simple self-sufficient life in the tropics around mostly or lightly uninhabited islands. This was after my Brother was killed in Vietnam, and I was so angry at NiXon for keeping us in the war after promising peace to get elected.
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
