 God, thanks you guys for seeing me here on the ground. Its so much better just having been seen and heard and felt. You know, I think maybe that's everything. Everything we ever needed. And the pain has been the lack of that, all along these many lifetimes and these many years this lifetime.

It feels like the Catholic idea of suffering as some sort of hero work you do to help others. Is it like that? If I become conscious here in this pain does it help anyone else? I hope so but the notion seems strange.

I just saw “Gone with the Wind” tonight and I am amazed. I’ve never seen it before. I am amazed at how totally I can identify with Scarlett, at how self centered I
am, how self concerned, how I use people, how cold I can be, how heartless except when it comes to myself. I am definitely that. How amazing that my self-image all my life has been that I am a good girl, a pleaser, a sweet person etc. etc. and underneath it all the time has lurked this evil villainess. I am blown away absolutely by this realization. Blown away. Gone with the wind.

How can it be that we contain SO MUCH? Can it be that we really are EVERYBODY THAT EVER LIVED. How can I be such a total victim one moment and an evil villainess the next. And yet it's true. It's all true. Wheew.

Yes, I think I'll live thanks to your fine replies. I honor you and if you don't mind, I'll take a cup of hot tea. Hey, that's just me. Or at least the me that I think I am today. (Don't let Ben hear me say this or he'll get on me for thinking again.)
