3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 

With my Practice busy and home life happy, and dark detractors kept at a firm distance, life is blissful, and I fully intend to savour every moment of it. I am not complacent however. The darkness in my own mind as well as individuals on the periphery of my life continue to pose a threat to this character. Maintaining the barricades is an oddly fulfilling activity! 

Once you accept that your character will always have allies and opponents, it liberates you to do your own thing and to defend your right to do it. I consequently seek no approval but that of my own Deeper Self. I shall continue enjoying the twin challenges of making a positive difference and defending my right to do so my way.

9. ZEN WISDOM

It would be pointless for a plum blossom to try to remake itself as a cherry blossom, no matter how deeply the plum yearns to do so. The plum is happiest when it blooms as itself in full glory. How much of the colour and wonder of life would be lost if it weren’t for our differences.
