Thank you for sharing that. The theme really resinates with the book I will never finish writing.
The video what beauty and strength. That which seems to evade me!

A fine write Dan. You gone? You flown away, as a dragonfly? Where ya gone?!
Though suffering is not the main theme here, I can\'t really go along with all of the quote.
We can\'t really escape suffering, though I try to \'pray it away\' sometimes. The \'detachment\' may cause us to go into escapism, or be insensitive to other\'s sufferings.
Not that I followed Buddha anyway!

Not many people like u2s but it reminded me if the song get out if your own way.
I hate people telling me the only one stopping me is me because I know it\'s true.
There\'s a clip my friend sent me which terrifies me

A magical and thought provoking read Dan - - - \"It\'s O.K. to feel good\" is my favourite phrase.

My own view is to steer clear of that Kafziel chappie! I only mostly go along with Biblically know angels - Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael (he is in some hymns). But not meaning in any spooky \'spirit-guide\' ways.

A piece like this is the song of your soul, it\'s extremely sincere and reflects the wisdom you\'ve fostered throughout your life. A flashlight in the darkness, another brilliant work my friend!

Now what is \'twaddle\'?! heehee. is it similar to \'waffle\'? Neither of which applies here.
I read in a similar vein: \'What is not transformed/changed, is transmitted (negatively to others).\'
But what IS transformed can also be transmitted (positively to others).

A fine piece of testament to braving life through even though for periods of time we can be tossed by not asking aright - - the fact is Dan that we have all had to learn to be careful of what we wish for or say - - an honest and heartening write.

Accepting that we make mistakes is a milestone along our path of self knowledge. Self knowledge i think gives us the enlightenment into accepting the imperfection of all around us.
Once we progress past love as a romantic notion and see love as something more wholesome and all encompassing, then i believe that the world loves back at us, imperfections and all.
I really like the phrase coined by a recent songwriter \'perfect imperfections\'.
All of this twaddle i have just written i can see in your piece today.
Nice one!

Good write, we do many things in our past that we may regret but they are done for a reason and that reasoning leads you to a brighter tomorrow.

Was this for one of your children?
If so we were simultaneously writing about our children!
I wonder if it is the time of year?
My boys never stop teaching me and I can never stop believing in them!

This was a super write Dan. Most people do not open up and share the inner self. I think it is a part of the healing process. Pleased to know you at least somewhat.

Here we are like a brotherhood of understanding and nurture. Its good that you are able to let your soul speak so freely among us and your words are learned - a lesson for us all. Of humanity, dignity and self exploration for the purpose of being the finest you can be.
Great to read your open heart therapy.

Good write Dan, the \"experts\" may know what it is but it is people who can LISTEN to you who can help the most, talking to those who listen can cure many things.
I am a listener and I have seen it happen to people who talk to me who know that I am LISTENING and understanding their troubles but not necessarily giving them a cure.
