Robert has gone onto other trails now and you gave him the very thing that you wished you could give him to “free his heart a little” – you made it possible for him to leave as he wished, from his home. Dear OCB, dear You for staying by his side through the whole of it…love and condolences.

Ah…softly…Hug to you. Buddhist, Venerable Tarpa shares the poem “When Death Comes” by Mary Oliver. She highlights her favourite line from the poem and elaborates on how it helps her to get some feeling of the “mere I,” and how it is different from the puffed-up conception of an inherently existent self. https://youtu.be/pa-VIYKUfR0
