Cassie,
I love Chris' extension of our little virtual world to a gaze over the lake which is us, in its brilliances and its darknesses. As for darknesses, well darknesses simply cannot in any way be denied, for if we assert to be the One
in our hearts, how can we deny or pull away from anything that arises, no matter what. We are forced to encounter it, meet it, ingest it. And in fact if we do find ourselves recoiling to whatever meal that's offered, then that right there is a great gift and lesson from whoever or whatever made us recoil. A great great gift. This is a bunch of words I am tossing around here, but in these spaces all we do have is each other. So Chris is right, there's plenty of room here on this porch and looking out over this lake.
I was riding home on the bike tonight and churning over how I would respond to your plea, which I read at lunchtime, and was so happy to read Chris' response. This is tough business, not for the faint of heart, and the fact that you are in it to the level that you are in it says something quite remarkable about you. Endure and persevere, in really big bold type! Endure and persevere. Endure and persevere. A mantra of sorts. Seek Others. Seek Others. Seek Others. Another mantra of sorts. Others offer the opportunity for some perspective in a process where perspective is very very hard to find.
So you never ever fell off the porch, you know. Let's see what's in this ice chest? You want bottle or can?
Paul
