i have a friend who practices Buddhism.he was a staff person who worked at a group home i lived in. he wrote me a letter once about his studies and how it related to me and my issues.i have reread it lately and it does seem so different from what i am reading about but in a way the same.parts of me would so love to share it with all of you because this is a man who has studied at length with monks and budhest in monasteries.what he says is amazing and so insightful to me but is also very personal so i am trying to find a way to do both share it and protect.
