came here to bitch about how horrible my day went, but found a virtual gift from a dear friend, and was stopped dead in my tracks. what a fool i am.
"it is like a finger pointing away to the moon... don't concentrate on the finger, or you will miss all the heavenly glory. now do you understand?" and yes i do. thank you, kate. thank you forever & always. like having glitter sprinkled all over my world, and now i'm reminded of how immense and glorious the universe is, and how truly tiny and trivial the frustrations of today are. i am so stupid and so lucky. and so, the lesson is learned and relearned, and now, like ripples in the pond after the stone has been cast -this warmth will inevitably move outward. and as it passes from person to person, creature to creature, the love and strength it generates will be owed to her benevolence. kate is magic.
