Two years

The events of this day in history, 2008, are beyond my comprehension still.

Having chosen life, I have no other choice but to keep going forward, into the present and future which have become relevant, bit by bit, a step at a time. Healing flows from my care for myself, and from the gods, my beloved, and my friends, family, caregivers, and colleagues.

I pray that all sentient beings may have happiness and its causes. I pray that all sentient beings may be free from suffering and its causes.

The second half of my life is going on now, and insists that I pay attention and show up for it each morning.
