And let's face it, we all have something we have to deal with, right?

I say use it. Whatever it is, let it teach us to become more open to love and light, to warmth and joy.

The Buddhist's call it Maitri.



The point here is to take what seems unbearable and to use it as a way to find compassion for one's self and for others.

I's a lot better than sitting around whining about being a victim. And what a bore that is, to hear and become.

I bow to the light within you!
Danny, I love you so much!
