...The importance of suffering.....(I hadn't seen that in the fine print until now). And yes, the suffering IS the beauty, although we don't choose it(the suffering), it is that which lets us see the individual uniqueness and the no-need-to-fret(resist or reject)which leads, I think, to deeper appreciation of the whole of life. Thank you, Joan.

Ah, Joan, This is just what I needed to read. I loved this: "...at the level of bare presence, we are identical, but in our shining forth, we are unique and beautifully so." Every form and every moment is sacred, as you wrote, and every form and every moment is empty. I shall have to read it several times to let it sink in. Thank you so much!
