But problems arise when we stick out fingers into them and make them personal. People often say they want to control or eliminate their emotions. But there is nothing wrong at all with the emotions that arise. We just can't seem to leave them alone, and that interference is the essence suffering. Uzma,

There is a sense of sadness in this post. But then, also optimism that comes with gratitude. You remember what you were grateful for, the gesture that the cookies brought with them. If only all of us could find the peace and beauty of sadness. My pleasure Takuin. There is a sense of sadness in this post.

But then we saw the same vendor a year to the day of her death. A warm hello from beyond? Nah, I know too much about the routines of food vendors in Japan. Haha... Still, it was nice to see.
