Smiling and crying for Katie, you, your family, Bruce... with you all too. Love is the only word that come to my mind reading your words. ((Greg)) Please, know that Katie is receiving virtual hugs from far away, south the world : )
Love
If you develop love truly great,
rid of the desire to hold and possess.
That strong, clean love untarnished by lust,
that love which does not expect to be repayed,
that love which is firm but not grasping,
enduring but not tied down,
gentle and settled,
diamond-hard but unhurting,
helpful but not interfering,
cool and refreshing,
giving more than taking,
dignified but not proud,
soft but not weak,
that love which leads to Enlightenment,
then you will be washed of all ill-will.
Gurulugomi (Buddhist Sage~12th Century AD)
