  1. This was a great read, particularly as I wrote to John Lennon as part of my series of Letters to dead Poets. Naturally, I couldn’t write to him without addressing the shooting, although I didn’t want it to be the focal point. So, not unsurprisingly, we discussed forgiveness. I noticed that you wrote about him yesterday so I’ll pop round and check out your post. I also mentioned “Love is all you need”.

  2. It took me a long time to finally realize that defending myself was defeating my purpose to stay calm and relax. Instead, anytime I jump to defend, my blood pressure went up. I learned to accept that you can’t convince anyone of anything if they are not open and ready to hear what you have to say.

    I enjoyed reading this very much because it reflects some of my own beliefs.

    • Thank you Patricia. It has taken me far too long to learn and apply this. I’m glad I’ve reached the point where I can, because it’s freeing.

  3. Defenselessness. Hmm.

    I rarely try to persuade someone to my point of view. That’s probably due to laziness on my part, not a state of high Zen. 🙂

    But it’s true. I state my case, then read (or listen to) the other person’s point of view. This is a polite exchange. We all know from the outset we’re not going to change anyone’s mind, so why get het up?
