Bless Yourself
You select what's on your mind. Whatever you are attending to, you could be attending to something else. What are you looking at, beloveds?
With what you see right now, you can see aright. There is enough beauty and love to see. No need to look at blight. What you look at and what you think go in tandem.
Where you have seen fault, you have sought it. See the other side of it. Go around the corner in your thoughts. Beneath where you see disorder, perhaps great good-naturedness lies. Does disorder take precedence over good nature?

We have talked about borders and their nonexistence. That is not to be taken as meaning that you have no rights. Your rights can be violated in terms of world life, and I do not ask that you be noncommittal about that.
You don't have to let someone take your pencil. You don't have to let someone step on your foot. If it's not okay with you, it's not okay.
You are entitled to speak up. "Hey, that's my pencil!" "Hey, that's my foot you're stepping on!" You are not a saint, and you don't have to be a saint.
