In particular, I am so grateful for the quality of dialogue that you have with your doctor. The level of attention And presence she maintains to your true self, and not just a body to cure, is wonderful. I pray for the two of you.

This followup to your dream is even more powerful than the dream itself. I had tears in my eyes reading it. Without love, we are nothing.

My heart goes out to you, Dear Erik! Sending you all the love I have - you mean so much to all of us!

(Especially Mahayana) Buddhism and its focus on loving-kindness, compassion, inter-connectedness and non-self are also closely connected to all of this. Mainstream US mindfulness generally does not engage with these issues.
