Take heart. Do what you can to help the living, and dedicate the merit of your practice to the dead. We may be powerless to change the past, but we do have the power to shape the present and the future by what we do, moment to moment, right now. And in maintaining our intention to be as skillful as possible in thought, word, and deed, we’ll find the only true refuge there is.

^^ Yaaaye greetings everyone.

I believe during today my mother was very lovely and was assisting me to apply for my student finance that I require for University. I believe that there was a very large and friendly section of text and I am worried that I was upsetting my mother as I use a very large amount of time for reading. I am worried that she became rather irritated and asked me to hurry and stated that I did not read this text as this was "bumf". ^^ I believe I enjoyed this happy word very much and feel very evil as I was blessed with laughter for a very long time. (Also I apologise greatly as this is perhaps a very short quote).
