Post what you're thinking right now.

OK, no sympathy, Pea, but I'll say in an utterly selfish manner that I hope you're back here rasing hell as soon as possible, therefore I hope you feel better, but only to reach this end, of course, as it is utterly impossible that I wish you well for any other reason.

Better?

Better.

Coming online is like shuffling yourself a hand of cards for entertainment. Sometimes we draw a card, which should improve our hand, and find it to be almost unrecognizable. While some cards we draw are similar to each other, many of those "face cards" are quite unique and often a pleasant find. Discovering that one of your favorite cards has become badly damaged is likely to affect your enjoyment of the card game. So, for my own personal reasons, I would like all the cards in the deck to be in serviceable condition, including you, P. None of this is feigned.

Wouldn't it be great if you could let go of past issues without having to work through them?

What is wrong with me, that I lack any real celebrity crushes, and can hardly think of any movies where I found a character to be really sexy?

I picked up and read thru my daughters book, "The essence of TAO".  It actually made a lot of sense to me, and the major point is to "let go" of past issues.  Quite interesting to me.

Does it tell you how to do that though?  I'd love to know how. 

[SovaNu]

me too. of course people know they should let go of past issues. there's no way to change past issues. we can only change the way we see past issues and through that change them into something neutral or positive.

The past is too important to let go.
It's all that we really have that's
certain. The future is unformed,
but the past is known.

It really doesn't say exactly how and at the risk of boring people to death I'll post some quotes that I found in the book.

"Under heaven everyone knows that the existence of beauty depends on the existence of ugliness.  Everyone knows the capacity for kindness depends on the existence of the unkind.  Existence and nothingness are mutually born, Difficult and easy complete each other."  
--LAO TZU

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course.  Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy" would lose it's meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.  It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."  --Carl Jung

"Happiness is not a matter of Intensity, but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony."  --Thomas Merton

So now that I'v given everybody who reads that a severe case of MEGO  (My Eyes Glaze Over) syndrome.  I'm feeling a little contemplative at the moment, so I'l see you later.

Peace

[purposefulinsanity]

  for taking the time to find and post those quotes.

my eyes didn't glaze over.
