In my meditation this morning, I saw how it is becoming clearer to me.

My shame and depression are necessary counterweights to my self righteousness.

Pride is still a larger problem that controls me unconsciously, beneath awareness.

As my awareness and honesty grows, pride will loose some of its’ power.

As there is less to be right about, and less to be proud of, there is less to be-

Depressed about and less to be ashamed of.

Just like fear, pride will be a part of my personality.

Like the scared child is a part of me, he does not control me.

Pride has its’ place, but to achieve balance, I must be aware of the source when it speaks.

Learning to live with fear, learning to live with pride, learning to live with myself,

Learning to live with each other.
