Punch Drunk

Every morning brings a new message of suffering.  I am scared to look at my phone.

So much illness and suffering and loss. 

I am well aware of the teachings of the Buddha - 

"I am of the nature to have ill-health.

Ill-health is unavoidable.

I am of the nature to die.

Death is unavoidable.

All that is dear to me and everyone I

love are of the nature to change.

Separating from them is inevitable."

But does one need to be reminded every moment?  Apparently yes.  

So, ccccccrrrraaaaaazzzzzzyyyyyy circles, art, writing when able, knitting, and I even ventured into Berkeley Art Museum.  Quite a delightful experience.  

My apologies for not writing more often - in case anyone is following my posts, and even if not.
