Keep Walking

I love Daniel Collinsworth’s post “Finding Greatness in Your Imperfection” on his blog Metta Drum.

He includes a wonderful quote by Ram Dass, which I believe to be true.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion—and where it isn’t, that’s where my work lies.  —Ram Dass

It’s hard work reminding myself that I’m human and that I’ll make mistakes.  It’s hard work to forgive myself when I’ve done something stupid.  It’s hard work, this living graciously and compassionately—both with others and myself.

So, I keep walking.
