(The Buddha said...) There is a better way to live alone. In absence...we may find each other in the air we breathe. In distance... We are the space that falls long between us. For us...there is no future that binds falsely to a promise. There is no past that haunts our letting go. There is only you and I in the present of this moment. Alone. In this better way.

Very pretty. Most of the thoughts are easy to digest and apply. Some aren't. I wish I could follow this recipe; it sounds like a winner! Enjoyed the quality and depth. miscellanea |

Hear, hear! What wisdom is spoken in such pretty phrases - a balm to an aching heart longing for a path to walk to happiness -  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
