We each have the option of doing what's Right, of choosing the pathways that lead into Light, of seeking and speaking and searching for Truth, and learning from Wisdom that lives in a tooth. It should not in any way be a surprise that the self-same orifice from which spew lies can also come loving and welcoming tones, for we as mere babies first master these bones. Our jaws are the wellspring of much human strength, we use them through all of our short lifetimes' length, we eat, talk, and kiss with them, spit and chew too, convinced that there's nothing that they cannot do. Next time though that we turn to challenging tasks and meet them with our teeth quite mightily clasped, we hope to remember to stop and relax, imagining our jaws were but made of wax. In this way we combat the faulty illusion that fearfulness is an unwanted intrusion and not something that we can choose to discard, avoid, and say No to, like sugar or lard. So take now a moment to open the jaw, to stretch out and loosen that animal maw, delight in the pleasure of this simple move with which one can alter the mind from it's groove.
