Friends... they
cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams. [Henry
David Thoreau]
What an exquisite definition of friends, of how friendship
works. I could really stand to check this in myself. How JOYous it is to build
someone up rather than focus on ME and MINE.
There is a saying in
Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.' No matter what
sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's
our real disaster. [Dalai Lama XIV]
There are times when I just crumble and pretty much quit
playing. I feel this sense of defeat that is so enormous. However, when I look
at this thoughty notion, when I BEcome willing to really flip my reaction to a
response, I see that the hope I build in the face of whatever “tragedy” I am
experiencing has the strongest foundation.
Curious stuff…
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never
haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. [Shel Silverstein]
This is one of the most important lessons in Life. To
BElieve that anything is possible, no matter the loud and boisterous naysayers
saying their nays wanting to diminish our hopes.
I love you, Currie

Absolutely! You have lived through all you have lived through in your life and survived just fine. So what's to be afraid of? The odds are with you. ;)
