What’s it like to write article number 100?

I love the feeling of accomplishment derived from this, but
can’t say whether article number 150, 200 or 500 will be any
more of a great milestone, in the mind.

Every article written is like an ode to life or living.

Every article written provides me the opportunity to contemplate
and think about the thoughts just forwarded to The Cosmos.

Hit send and you are practicing surrender because now your writing
is no longer under your control.

And what is surrender but the practice of letting go of the need
to control, demand or have anything more to do with perfection?

I had a patient recently who prided herself with the fact that she was a
worrier, that she had anxiety about every facet of her life, and that this
made her somehow special.

But by accepting her exactly where she was, I did not have any interest
in changing how she viewed the world.

I did not have to be right nor was it necessary to create a drama proving
she was wrong.

Her unhappiness is her’s to own.

So the 100th article is my practice of letting go of the need to be right,
or of the need to think that these articles somehow make me a “good person.”

They are testaments to life and to living.

And that is all.
