Reading your words, it occurs to me that I am always 'coming out of retreat,' that there is no where to go, that there is some space within my greatest pain and grief.

I know they are not the same but in moments like these, it's hard to work it all out. I am not dismissing the lineage or the teachings, nor even Vajrayana, and I too feel pain to see people doing it. miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107671021769120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13489654.post-58590505002855988212018-07-01T11:27:50.983-05:002018-07-01T11:27:50.983-05:00Thank you sweetheart.Thank you sweetheart.miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06107671021769120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13489654.post-54368032147096307252018-07-01T07:02:10.390-05:002018-07-01T07:02:10.390-05:00Dear Miriam, Thank you.

So much could be said and, this isn't about me. Having been triggered several times in the past year alone, I'm wondering if it ever stops; or, do the triggers become our transformation and utilized as tools for healing?
