[Some years ago, in 2011, I made this note in my journal.]
Linda Rogers sent me a book, The Blue Heron Book Of Love And Gratitude, and, up in middle night, looking through it, I found on page 39 my spiritual autobiography. William James said:
“The transition from tenseness, self-responsibility, and worry, to equanimity, receptivity, and peace, is the most wonderful of all those shiftings of inner equilibrium, those changes of the personal center of energy, which I have analyzed so often; and the chief wonder of it is that it so often comes about, not by doing, but by simply relaxing and throwing the burden down.”
That’s just how it happened to me.
