our harmful emotions and unhealthy habits are not ingrained
but they can’t just disappear of their own accord
no matter how often we resolve not to do them again
it takes persistent awareness to eliminate them
we need to focus more on their antidote or opposite
if anger arises too quickly we need to learn patience
if greedy beyond our needs we need to practice generosity
when our behaviour gets out of control, watch the triggers
they can be dimmed and eventually vanish if we apply ourselves

My unhealthy habits are the ones that I celebrate ….
But I do love pelicans. I wonder why? Perhaps it is the shameless greed that they display whilst cruising past the fish and chips shop. And yet they still manage a certain elegance … refusing to lower themselves to the level of squabbling seagulls.
Have you visited Innes’s boat shed in Batemans Bay? Plenty of hungry pelicans there. And big rays as well, that glide in like prehistoric spacecraft to devour the scraps …

Yup. You’re meant to go to the completely opposite extreme for 40 days and then try live with a balance.
