Death
My father in law passed away. I saw him struggling with ill health in a recovery hospital bed a week ago, dealing with DNR's and interpreting curative from palliative procedures. I saw 'him' in the hospice hospital on Friday, heaving for breath, essentially unconscious. And then Saturday, a well assembled collection of organic molecules was stone still in the hospice bed, with no spark of life. No one was gone, no one was here. The ice has melted and fallen back into the stream. Now begins a long process of legal and customeray affairs that is definitely certain there was someone unique there. But that was you and that was me. We arise, pop out a vagina, and muck about until we're tossed in the ground to feed the worms. What a comedy! Might as well just sit.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Sending well wishes to you and your family. Sorry I flaked on my offer to send you some stuff for Jukai.
I’m still trying to figure out if my practice recently “fell apart” because my life “fell apart” (at least it felt that way) or if my life “fell apart” because my practice “fell apart”.
The new blog is just meaningful quotes, at least for me. I have realized that, at least for now, I need to just sit down and shut up.
Keep on sitting.
