Wayne Dyer has a quote from the Bhagavad-Gita that I choose to have above my desk.

"Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water."

Seems so simple and when we let go of ego, it really is.

Love and laughter,
Phyllis

Ah, Dreaded Ego!

Ego looks for humanity
All I crave is Divinity
It's bad enough to work and slave
Ego worries about the grave

It doesn't know Infinity
Has no clue of Eternity
Wants ro create Identity
Please go to sleep, nonemtity

The truth be known, we are endless
The Past is dead, that's a promise
The future comes as we decide
So come Ego, enjoy the ride
