And talk about synchronicity. I was just talking with a friend about growth…after they said they wanted Life to just calm down so that they could grow. I was telling them that it has been the fires that forged my character, not the gentle cool breezes. Yes, the breezes may have calmed and soothed and allowed for reflection....but it truly was the fires that burned away all ego, all pretense, all fear, and left me stripped to the bare bone. That is where I found Robin....and the core of Life. It is where I found my god. It is where I made peace with Life. It is where I understood and felt compassion for all of humanity, because I understood their suffering, their human failings, and all of it. When we get down in the trenches of Life we either buckle and give up or run in fear and hide for the rest of our lives (or until whenever).....OR we use every single bit of pain, suffering, fear, unknowing to grow like crazy. That is what we have done Walt. Thank you for seeing and understanding Life at this level. It is WHY you are maverick. I wish you SO much goodness my dear friend.

It is exceptionally beautiful and very true. It made me feel more ME. Both your insights and you are very appreciated.

I had to dry the tears before I could even type a comment - and I'm thinking to myself "What on earth can I SAY?" Maybe just that so few know the true meaning of compassion, very few.<br /><br />I consider you a gift, Walt. I really do. Thank you so much for expanding my thinking and challenging me in the gentlest of ways!Susan Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755153568864508986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27789620.post-5933135221191240272009-11-05T13:10:43.802-05:002009-11-05T13:10:43.802-05:00Robin, we have both been through the fire, that is...Robin, we have both been through the fire, that is why we are now what we are. It seemed as if we were cast into the pit of Hell itself; our wounds were so grievous. But like the legend of the Phoenix: From the ashes of the old Robin; there arose a new creature of light, crafted in divine love, and compassion.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729069480739750609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27789620.post-84452079728077824202009-11-04T21:02:48.213-05:002009-11-04T21:02:48.213-05:00My dear dear soul friend. I came here to see what ...My dear dear soul friend. I came here to see what you were up to and I discovered this post. I...was...stunned!! <br /><br />When I read these words I felt like you saw to the bottom of my soul: <br /><br />"Like a child in paradise, the enlightened sage in harmony with Tao sees the world untainted by thoughts and concepts,..."<br /><br />I've often felt that people don't understand my lack of interest in thoughts and especially concepts. As I told someone the other day on a hike, "Although, I may say the words 'I believe' I actually have few beliefs and only experiences and explorations." It was the first time I'd verbalized that. And when I read the above quote in your post I cried. I felt like someone understood and saw. <br /><br />It's not that I feel "unseen" I don't even think like that. What it is, is that it's so amazing when someone does see. I feel I've touched God. <br /><br />Thank you for being you Walt, thank you for seeing, thank you for moving me to tears, thank you for caring being so wise. More wise than you give yourself credit for, but then your humbleness is such a part of your inner beauty. <br /><br />Hugs and love, <br />RobinRobin Eastonhttp://www.nakedineden.comnoreply@blogger.com
