Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.
Those links, rock E1.

"Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: either the thing you are grasping disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first." ~ Goenka

Non-attachment is huge in Buddhism. It doesn't mean separating ourselves from everything, but the opposite - there is unity in everything, so there is nothing to detach from. Non-attachment means not holding on to things - thoughts, feelings, etc - letting them pass through you.
I'm proud of you for taking the steering wheel with your thoughts. I loved your prayer - that's a keeper.
