I try to learn from Dharma and Rumi. Neither of them takes things personally or cops an attitude toward the other when sat upon, stolen from, or made to go second for dinner or treats. I try to put this into practice when someone cuts in front of me in traffic and when Michael doesn't do what I used to think he should do. There are endless possibilities for exploring this practice of not taking things personally. Will I know that I have achieved a good level of it when I come back as a dog?
