Several of my friends are going through trying times. Observing their pain makes me so grateful for all the things that I have. The best thing I can do is to remain positive, visualize them healthy, wealthy and happy, and continue on. There's really nothing else I can do. I've asked, they've responded, and I've rendered what was asked of me.
Mostly I've been contemplating compassion of late. What does it truly mean when considered in the framework that is my life. I do grokk the universality of Tao. However, the specific application of it to my life is where it gets a little tricky.
Are there any other Taoists on my flist? If so, I'd like to sit down and have some meaningful and insightful conversation either in person or via IM.
Ciao for now.
