murmurations

If I write a letter
and mail it
to someone I love,
someone I love may write a letter to me.

Anandabodhi recited the visualization technique from memory. He ended it by saying the chant leaves “us abiding in emptiness.” We normally would say “and we abide in emptiness.”

This subtle distinction in wording was something the chant leader spoke to, after the chant was over. Soryu gave his own commentary as well.

Is there an “us” left after we dissolve everything? Is that what really remains? Soryu said this was a profound point. What does it mean to abide in emptiness? How does one do that?

I forgot my reading glasses.

most people will actually say “nice try” or not comment and not insult you like she did

rude comment

Sorry someone called it weird.

Friendship is a series of actions.
A person who pushes you when you don't want them to is acting in a way incongruent with friendship.
A person who assesses you as useless and horrible is acting in a way incongruent with friendship.
A person who convinces others to alienate you is acting in a way incongruent with friendship.
If a relationship is in a stage where you are regularly thinking whether its benefits outweigh its costs, it may be healthy to take a step back.
