It is pretty universal for all of us, isn’t it? Peace to you, Molly

Funny how it’s still as relevant. I think I need to take a detour right now in my life *smirk* – so thanks for posting.

kindest regards,
Jordan

Oh wait, I guess I shouldn’t take anyone seriously. Especially a long-time buddhist.

With Metta,
Molly

Death confronts us all – everyday and anything that helps us come to terms with our unavoidable fate has to be good.

Yes death does seem to be taboo in this culture. interesting though, in Tibet they don’t celebrate birthdays, rather they celebrate death, because death is such the opportunity and one of the biggest gifts within their culture.

Are you at step two or are you step two, occasionally sliding into step 3? :)
Peace, Barry. Molly
