grab paper and pen
put it in writing
give it to the wise woman
see how yours compare.
she will fill a little bag with your writing
toss it onto the big pile of troubles
put it into perspective.
you walk away lighter.
—
the art of living lies not in eliminating,
but in growing with troubles.

In Japan there`s a shrine in Kyoto where you write your problems on a piece of rice paper, drop it in a bucket of water (?) and it melts away with everyone else`s.

The best way to live is to be laid back. So laid back you’re almost horizontal then you never have any troubles.
