Day 4

I'm reading In Sweet Company by Margaret Wolf and the first two excerpts brought the following thoughts yesterday:

1) Sister Helen Prejean (of Dead Man Walking fame) talked about the difference between SUCCESS and EXCELLENCE. She said it is more important to aim to be EXCELLENT. I thought about what that really meant and why success was such a limited term.

2) Grandma Twylah Nitsch talked about her concept of meditation and sacred silence and how it differs from other concepts. She makes specific requests for answers to the sacred during her meditation. Made me think about my own meditation approaches.
