This is comforting to listen On the last questions, I am not the best person on reaching out with compassion in general. On the question on plans for the future, just today, I received a couple of invitations for April! I chuckle a little because I do and don’t want to attend (another chuckle on the irony). Although it’s like the Object A: “If I only had more time for myself”; then, when I’m with myself, I wonder “if I only had more plans”. Bottom line, this conversation helps me feel I am sort of living a balanced life and feel appreciation by your teachings Big hugs from Mexico
