never alone?

a book half-read laying around for years...
commence midnight reading...
eureka! thank you Pema, particularly for Chapter 11 - follow link to google books to commence enlightenment.
(Chapter 11? more lila?)
may it help you make friends with yourself, as it did me...
and to my #1 reader, this bud's for you. (pun intended.)
sidenote: where Pema writes that her teacher, Trungpa Rinponche used to call this "nostalgia for samsara," in another of her books she writes that his quote was learning that "nostalgia for samsara is full of shit." love it.
def: samsara (n.): endless cycle of suffering, see also wheel of samsara
another sentence that really smacked me was "People have felt this way from the beginning of time."
j'ai bhagwan,
