your daily rock : detach from outcome

When I travel, I carry “daily rocks” with me and leave them in airports and hotels for others to find. At first, I have to admit I wanted to see someone find the little rock message, just to experience the joy of that moment of wonder. And then I realized …

your daily rock : know thy self

“There’s a lot of fear connected with the inner journey because it penetrates our illusions. Taking the inner journey will lead you into some very shadowy places. You’re going to learn things about yourself that you’ll wish you didn’t know. There are monsters in there-—monsters you can’t control—-but trying to …
