"Our places give shelter. That is a given.
Focused only on ourselves, filled with possessions, trying
to impress others, they deny the unity of all.
Connection with the greater truths of otherness has far
greater import than minutiae of our lives.
Focus on ourselves is endless looking in a mirror, reading the same story, replaying the same tape.
There's more richness, new stories, adventures beyond the mirror. The truth of ourselves includes the selves on the outside of our skins, and inside other of our skins.
Bring those lives into your life."

Welcome back. Your insights have been missed.
Thank you.... saw a great play over the weekend... Zoo Story... and the quote "Sometimes we have to travel a long way to come a short distance correctly" has really been sticking with me...
Steve, thank you for the welcome back message. It has been a few weeks of new journey...my biopsies came back negative (relief), while my aging parents continue to successfully create unnecessary drama in their lives. My illusion of being centered was brought back to the reality of nothing being constant.
And Calypso--thank you for the reminder and validation...just as I begin to find peace, I am reminded of the reality, which is always a surprise.
