True, Necessary, Kind

I have done things I shouldn’t have done; I have said things I shouldn’t have said. 

What is done cannot be undone; what is said cannot be unsaid. 

The hurt I have caused needs time for healing; the regret I feel needs time for forgiving.

Meanwhile, I recall Rumi’s advice that is worth heeding: …

Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: At the first gate, ask yourself, “Is it true?” At the second gate ask, “Is it necessary?” At the third gate ask, “Is it kind?” ~ Rumi

Body, Mind, Soul

I have a body, but I am not my body.

I have thoughts, but I am not my thoughts.

I have feelings, but I am not my feelings.

I have a mind, but I am not my mind.

Who am I?

“I am not this hair. I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.” ~Rumi

I am the experiencer, the experience, and the field in which the experiencer experiences the experience.
