Meditation

Beware of willful decisions to harden! The results take on a life of their own. Prejudices, stereotypes, hatreds, and twisted ways get passed on without thought. It takes and act of God to bring healing; and it takes a wholehearted effort to prevent lapsing into familiar ways and comfortable patterns of past behaviors.
