I should also mention, I'm not perfect. I think there's a little anger in my quiet. The rejection carries some sting and I feel I'm somewhat reacting back.

I know it's there. I'm trying to tease it out of the whole collection of emotions. I'm trying to deal with it. It's my work.

"S/he abused me, S/he beat me, S/he defeated me, S/he robbed me,'' in those who harbor such thoughts hatred (suffering) never ceases.
