Copied from my thread...
I just read the Tao of Pooh, by Benjamin Hoff, and I HIGHLY recommend it to all LBSr's (and probably all of our MLCr's as well, but you know they're not going to read it).
Here is a passage that I think is perfect for us:
There are things about ourselves that we need to get rid of; there are things we need to change. But at the same time, we do not need to be too desperate, too ruthless, too combative. Along the way to usefulness and happiness, many of those things will change themselves, and the others can be worked on as we go. The first thing we need to do is trust our own Inner Nature, and not lose sight of it.
There is also a passage regarding the Bisy Backson (our MLCrs):
All work and no play makes Backson a dull boy. Kept up for long enough, it makes him dead, too.
I found such wisdom in this book and it's a really quick read. Couple it with the other self focus work you are doing. It's just so simple, and it is right on with RCR's principles.
