Today's Mediation:

You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh, Healing Our Wounds and Pain

Emotions come and go, though in the moment it may seem they'll last forever.

Buddhism teaches me to accept emotions, unfurl them to see their dimensions and textures, hold them to become familiar and by that, understand. 

Today, we buried my mom's urn. The service was very nice. The eulogies, poignant, touching, and heartfelt.

We shared our memories and emotions. Stories I'd never heard and aspects of my mom shown to friends and peers but not children.

I loved it.
