Judgment is discernment on a bad hair day.

He who knows others is clever;
He who knows himself has discernment.

Living in the present moment requires discretion toward memory.
Without memory we'd have amnesia. What good would there be in that?

with a broad spectrum of forgiveness.
As for our present moment, delight.
And dedication to remain fully present to all the possibility.

is only part of the truth.

We should not pretend to understand
the world only by the intellect;
we apprehend it just as much by feeling.

also come to an understanding of its inadequacy.
- Carl Jung
The River of Life has no meaning, no good, no bad,
no better, no worse, no love, no hate, no fear, no anger, no joy.
The River of Life has no judgment, no expectation.
The River of Life just IS. There is nothing to do.
There is nothing to say.
There is nothing to think.
There is nothing to feel.
The River just flows. The River is the source of all nourishment -
the source of all obstacles.
The River is the source of all life - the source of all death.
The River is the source of all joy - and the source of all sorrow.
Yet the River has no joy - and the River has no sorrow.
The River is just the River.
One can flow harmoniously with the River -
or one can struggle fearfully against the River -
and the River just flows.
One can accept the River - or one can deny the River -
and the River just flows.
One can worship the River of Life - or one can curse the River of Life -
and the River just flows. There is nothing to do - and the River flows.
There is nothing to say - and the River flows.
There is nothing to think - and the River flows.
There is nothing to feel - and the River flows.
The River flows - and all else is our drama.
The River flows - and all else is our invention.
