KG, she has a book too that I really like called Radical Acceptance. I listen to the audio talks on her website or Pema while I am driving or cleaning.. really helps me.
Thank you for the encouragement, it is definitely a work in progress, Tumbling. That quote was inspired by this quote of tara brach's that I posted on my last thread:
"The Latin root of the word desire, “desidus,” means “away from a star.” The way I interpret this is that stars are the energetic source of all life and an expression of pure awareness. This aliveness and wakefulness is what we long for most deeply-we long to belong to our star, to realize our own true nature. Yet because our desires habitually narrow and fixate on what by nature passes away, we feel “away from our star,” away from the life, awareness and love that is the essence of who we are. Feeling apart from the source of our being, we identify ourselves with our wants and with the ways that we try to satisfy them." Tara Brach
I will have to catch up on your sitch. I loved your sense of humor in the post on Busting's thread.
Well, I sent my text wishing W a wonderful birthday and received a thank you reply. I can't help but think it is so strange for all those years together to come to this, but it is not the end of the story and I am not the only author.
