	Competitions are for horses, not artists.
						Bela Bartok


The art of living is probably the highest form of personal expression:  one
is not concerned with who is behind or ahead, but rather with the enjoyment
of now.  There is no waiting for a payoff, for that day when certain things
are settled or when that ship comes in.  The art of living requires that I
like myself, accept what I am and stop wishing I were otherwise.  There is no
room for pretense.  People who have developed the art of living are sweetly
loving and deeply sensitive while maintaining their independence.  They are 
as respectful of their own values and opinions as those of others.


FOR TODAY:  In looking to others in the program for help, I am careful not to
deny my own right of discovery.
