Well, if I had a self, I would...but in the conventional...this life's experience has been loaded with all the same experiences of most human beings...happy/sad, warm/cold, peace/turmoil, searching/finding, clarity/confusion, likes/dislikes...we are all capable of the entire spectrum. I have practiced for 4 years, after a lifetime of searching, often in all the wrong places. Buddhism has changed my life, so nice to be home finally...yet it requires my full attention...dusting, sweeping, scrubbing...but after all the experience is the path. I am a single mom, lovely 9 1/2 yr old daughter, we love animals...we have bunches of animal people friends with whom we share our world. In the last 7 months, I have lost two of the dearest people I have ever known, so it was a hard winter for us, but we learn from our pain, change is life...without the change we could not come to be. I saw a quote, "What makes you vulnerable, makes you beautiful"...I believe this to be so true...we are vulnerable, life is vulnerable.
I enjoy the more simple things, why complicate reaity? I love horseback riding, motorcycles, music, being in nature and a really good laugh. May all the Buddhas of the Three Times bless you all _/|_
