Chapter 10

10 Can you coax your mind from its wandering
and keep to the original oneness?
Can you let your body become
supple as a newborn child’s?
Can you cleanse your inner vision
until you see nothing but the light?
Can you love people and lead them
without imposing your will?
Can you deal with the most vital matters
by letting events take their course?
Can you step back from your own mind
and thus understand all things?

  2. Thank you, Charlie! Chapter 10 says to me "It's not about you, Lissa. It is spirit. The Creative Spirit flowing through you." My hairdresser said this to me many years ago. So, I can create my art and not worry about the critics. I can do my job and let go when the workday is over. And, I can "give birth and nourish" without possessing. My children are free to be who they are ... to speak, work, dream. And, as Charlie said, without my control over how they live their lives.
