Ladybugs are flocking in the air this warm autumn day. One alights on my body every minute or two, stays a few seconds, and then takes off again. Open the door to go outdoors and a ladybug or two fly into the house.Ladybugs are beneficial insects because they eat aphids and scale, which seem to show up on my houseplants about mid-winter.
What if we developed our own beneficial qualities? Which ones would you choose? My top 3 are patience, kindness, and skillful speech. Generosity, compassion, voluntary simplicity, calmness, tolerance, gratitude, joy are other possibilities.
Let's develop a beneficial quality and watch it "eat up" frustration, annoyance, bother, anticipation, or desire--whatever the "pest" in your mind might be.
Today, the air is thick with ladybugs.
