For today only,

I will not feel anger.

I will not worry.

I will do my work, my meditation,

with appreciation.

And extend a kindness to all people

Mikao Usui

            Perhaps everyone comes to a point in life when they wonder if what they have done has been good enough.... Good enough to leave a mark, even if only for a brief time.  Have I been good enough, humble enough, kind enough, dedicated enough, ethical enough, spiritual enough, have I loved enough, respected enough, prayed enough, and have I shown compassion enough?

            Is what I have overcome, shared and become enough to meet an everlasting life?  How can one ever know?  It is like standing upon the shifting sand and never being quite sure of one's footing.

            Shifting sands of time, energy and eternal peace - when does one stand, when does one fall?  What determines when one's time runs out, when they rise or fall to a different level? 

            The shifting sands give no answers --- Has it been enough?  Good, bad, nonexistent?  Perhaps only the sifting of the sands will tell.
