The hurts of life and love take varying forms for all of us, but my heart keens to your writing, and I can't imagine anyone could read your recent posts and be untouched.

That Buddhist BS has helped me get through some rough times. I have boiled it down to three axioms: "Be happy now," (i.e. being happy is a decision.) "Live in the moment," (i.e. concentrate on what is going on right now, not at some time in the past or what might happen in the future.) And, "Let it go," (i.e. there are some things over which we have no control and it is futile to hang onto things that are not in our power to change.) Sorry, if this sounds preachy. I often don't follow my own BS rules.Crockheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410758631825372736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15901777.post-1150944627581769422006-06-21T23:50:00.000-03:002006-06-21T23:50:00.000-03:00No rush for the regular programming, LJ.
