Holy cow.
Hang in there.
I'm back
Re: I'm back
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

Oh, one more thing: My dad's fighting stage 4 cancer. he lives a little over three hours away, if you haul ass through the Columbia Gorge. His girlfriend is caring for him, BUT now she has an aggressive cancer going on too, so she's getting a pretty invasive surgery on Monday. So I'll be in Portland caring for the both of them for a while.
Anyway, that's a sample of life's rich pageant. That's what I've been doing with my life of late.
You've been carrying a big load! I hope we can at least give you a bit of moral support and a nice place to visit occasionally.

The three realms are impermanent;
migrating beings’ birth and death is equivalent to watching a show;
a being’s life is like a flash of lightening in the sky;
passing by as swiftly as a mountain waterfall.

Hope you've been taking care of yourself too. Good to "see" you back.
