Openness

A personal practice of trying to be more mindful and compassionate is a moment-by-moment attempt at being all that which I think is good and right. Being my ethics is not easy. It entails facing my weaknesses, my prejudices and my arrogance constantly. While I do not always succeed against the great odds of my own inadequacy to measure up to my own ideals, I have learned to embrace humility in the face of my own arrogance. This is the key to being nonviolent and open to others.
