"I realized I was looking at you,
in your visit, through old glasses.
Speaking old words.
Telling old stories.
I realize that in my life I've made so many

They become even more treasured when they are wrapped
in the currentness of life experiences
and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.

and experience physical and emotional suffering
in ourselves, our family, and our friends.

your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.

pure water forms pure ice - dirty water forms dirty ice.
Consider how much easier it is to purify water before it freezes

before they manifest into physical reality,
than to try to cut the cancerous impurities from solid reality
after you have manifested your thoughts into physical form.
