A very heartfelt post, one in which I feel I've gotten to know you better, Kert. Your own words as well as those in the poem you share put me in mind of Thich Nhat Hanh's expression, "Without mud, there would be no lotus flower," or put even more simply, "No garbage, no flower."
Thank you Don. Kindred spirits recognize each other on The Path. And I see you! I see your gentle and grateful soul when you repost and share such wonderful and heartfelt thoughts from so many other Substack writers. I look forward to your writing every day.
