Seeing projection
Seeing the rays of projection
Reversing the flow of attention along those rays
Returning to a range in which there is richer agency
So that you can practice making your thoughts
more flexible and beautiful
Rather than overextending yourself
reaching out to change something
that isn't yours to change
and that you aren't even seeing clearly
because of the projection

"Penny was looking for the best way to bring her family's legacy into the community", Joe wrote. What a tactful way to speak of the spending of inheritance. And it strikes me:
Legacy, inheritance — the field of these words reaches across some imaginary boundary I have drawn between monetary and non-monetary efforts, and so reveals it to be imaginary indeed. Arbitrary. We creative beings can grow many things — one of them is money.
Seeing it this way — drawing money back into the field of all that can be created, all that can be given life, all that we may dream of as an extension of ourselves through time, an offering to others — both purifies it and reminds us that we have other choices.
