Your pain is the breaking of the shell

Therefore trust the physician, and drink
his remedy in silence and tranquility.

you forget your separateness:
you are the sunset.

enclosed entity of the ego.
Now the mind is speaking.
- Osho

"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.
I realize that in my life I've made so many
physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up."
Time for my spirit to look at my friend
through the new glasses of current life experiences.
Old friends are precious.
They become even more treasured when they are wrapped
in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

When truly necessary, violence met with violence -
but never hate responded to with hate.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
A leader is best when people barely know he exists,
