What Did I Accomplish Today?

What is the
measure
of a
good day?

Accomplishment
can be a strange
idol.
It promises
peace
after one more
task,
one more sermon,
one more song,
one more post,
one more
finished
thing.

But then
the day
ends,
and my soul
still has to
live
with itself.

Here in the
twilight,
rather than
asking
what I have
done,
a better
measure
might be:

Did I become
more free today?

Did I become
less bitter?

Did I tell
the truth?

Did I release
what was
not mine
to carry?

Did I move
even slightly
toward
love?

A clear mind
and
a better heart
may be
holier than
a completed
checklist.

So maybe
my evening prayer
is simply this:

Lord,
I release the day.
I release what I finished
and what I failed to finish.
Clear my mind.
Soften my heart.
Let me sleep as one who is loved,
not as one who must prove his worth.

Life is a state of learning about death; with the light of mindful awareness, the darkness of the ego disappears and unity, wholeness, arises...

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Q. I find that people’s ideas of religion vary so greatly that I think you ought to define what is religion.
 
A. I do not know that there is any real reason why I should define what religion is. That has been done by many people far better qualified to do so. I can only give my own personal definition, which has no foundation in theology. Religion to me is simply the conviction that all human beings must hold some belief in a Power greater than themselves, and that whatever their religious belief may be, it must move them to live better in this world and to approach whatever the future holds with serenity.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1941-10), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 58

It's hard, but I'm getting much better at just letting things go.

For example, I don't have to get into a debate by replying to a post whenever I think the other person is wrong.
It's very liberating to just scroll by and let it be ☺️

Also, we have two eyes, two ears, but only one mouth, so I try to read more, listen more, and speak less.

A thought thrives on your interest; if you don't give it that, it can't be sustained. If you don't nurture it, it can't grow.

Observe them from a distance, without judgment, like passing clouds that appear and disappear on their own, leaving behind a clear, blue, bright sky...
