"I'm finding that the FEAR of how I REACT to the hole is the worst part of it.  :Retro frown::Retro tongue::Retro tongue:\n\nOnce in meditation, I had a realization that \"the reaction is optional.\" \nNow I just need to remember that.\n\nBeautiful summation, DB, of what the dharma is about.  \n\nWe practice so that we can remember that \"the reaction is optional\" and so that our thoughts exist in more spaciousness allowing for a response instead of a reaction.\n\nI always forget before I remember.  \n\nOne hopes to remember more swiftly in future :Sign Please: and, with practice, \n\none does. \n :Sign Peace:\n\n:Sign Thanks:"
