Get out of your Mind and Come to your Senses – Anthony de Mello
Stimulate the senses and feel the passion of life be reborn within you. Autumn provides countless opportunities to do so – the pleasant scent of the fragrant olive; the sight of the constantly changing colors of the leaves; the touch of the cool, fresh breeze on your skin; the sound of the chirping birds, some of whom are permanent residents while others are simply passing through on their way to warmer lands; and the taste of freshly harvested goodies like juicy persimmons and mackerel pike.

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If a person shows anger to you and you respond with anger, the result is a disaster. In contrast, if you control anger and show the opposite attitude – compassion, tolerance, patience – then not only do you yourself remain in peace, but the other person’s anger will gradually diminish….
