Thanks Susan !
You're a Great Lady !!
!!!
I AM So Grateful that there is someone out there like you.
Really.
I guess somewhere in the ancient teachings is the idea and principle that we rise and fall together as one.
I just try to send loving and helpful vibrations everywhere as I sit alone and think -- I asked the universe to be helpful to the grave pain and suffering in this neck of the cosmos, and after great suffering, the universe put me where I could be most useful even though it does not seem that I'm useful to the outer world.
As I stated in Random Ruminations:
" Thanks guys for the platitudes, but I'm sure you can see that I'm pretty broken and bitter in a joyful sort of way if that makes sense.
I exist.
I have allowed that jagged heights of a 'mountain-top' experience to grind me to powder.
And, crazily enough, that seems to be... 'ok'.
I never did want to hurt anyone, so I ended up hurting myself, trying to take on the burdens of the world.
There is a method, a madness and 'an eternal golden braid', (to plagiarize a term), to this thing called life.
It just seems that 'the natural order of things' has not been lived on this planet properly in the larger scheme of things, yet old orders are breaking down and a wave of new possibilities are being forced upon us, breaking and shattering worldviews.
I don't know anything.
I just sit alone and think day after day.
Thank You Both,
Burt B. "
Sincerely,
Burt B.
