Choose Your Words

My writing life has taken me to explore many paths. (I've stumbled many times, lost my way at least the same number.)

Several years ago, I became a serious student of Buddhism.

One of my favorite quotes from The Buddha is:

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care 

for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

I don't like Post-it notes, almost never use them, but I have one with this quotation on my desk, with my own slight revision.
