I am so sorry that I have not been in touch with those of you who have tried to contact me. I am still rather shocked that I have cancer again. It was an incredible, almost bizarre experience to have this negative karma ripen for me during the Guyagharba retreat. As I face my next round of cancer treatment, I hope that I can conduct myself with even a fraction of the courage and grace that Ron Fidler has been showing us. He is an example and an inspiration to me.
Life goes by so quickly.
Time spent with all of you is incredibly short. Also, since I am a lousy practitioner, I can barely hold Rinpoche in my mind for a moment. I'm a small fish without much insight, who doesn't comprehend this ocean. If Rinpoche weren't here to reexplain the ABC's, I'd be at a complete loss. So, I'm feeling water-logged right now, but I'm still kicking.
