More than Words

Hope is not blindness.

Repetition isn't the same experience.

Discovery is not always finding something new.

Dreams are not delusion.

Observation is not detachment.

Regulation is not being unaffected.

Understanding is not tolerance.

Peace is not subdued.

Love is not possessive.

Pleasure is not too much.

Truth is not all-knowing.

Loyalty is not blind allegiance.

Capacity is not the same as boundaries.

Stability is not rigidity.

Settling is not giving up.

Anger is not harmful.

Safety is not limiting.

Impact is not striving.

Being oriented is not the same as being calm.

Healing is not perfection.

Presence is not passivity.

Humility is not self-erasure.

Knowing is not control.

Mystery is not ignorance.

Adaptability is not self abandonment.

Play is not performance.

Wisdom is not having all the answers.

Acceptance is not resignation.

Confidence is not the absence of fear.
