There are two voices in our minds: a quiet, loving voice and a loud, generally spiteful voice. The latter will always direct us to the unhealthy places, but we can learn to detach from that voice and to relish the quiet one instead. Prayer will always lead us back to where we want to be. ~ Casey , Karen. Let Go Now. (p. 121). Mango Media. Kindle Edition.

Do you have a split personality?
Probably not, nor a dissociative identity disorder,
nor any diagnosable mental disorder!
But when you talk to yourself…
you do, do you not?…do you hear different
voices and attitudes internalized?
Have you been mad at the whole world
and ready to take on all comers?
When you talk to yourself are you kind?
Do you have ideas about what you’d like to say
to someone who irritates you? Do you say it
or do you clean it up…nice it up
before you speak? Have you made an effort
to seek out the kind you in talking to yourself
or to someone else? We can learn to detach
from that voice and to relish the quiet one instead.
Prayer will always lead us back to where we want to be.
Shall we try that today?
