Separating

[Secret Chief]

Our togetherness may become ended. The twenty odd year trial may be deemed no longer sustainable.

Who'd have thought it? Both of us, probably.

Feel free to post your wisdom, I'm all wised out.

I'm so sorry, Magog.

 

[Ablaze]

My empathies go out to you. As someone whose parents have recently divorced, rather abruptly and without warning after 25 years of what seemed like a healthy and stable marriage, I understand the shock and sorrow and can only imagine how much more shock and sorrow comes from being a direct part of such a separation.

So you should view this fleeting world
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud
A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream

Diamond Sutra

"Do you see this glass? I love this glass. It holds the water admirably. When I tap it, it has a lovely ring. When the sun shines on it, it reflects the light beautifully. But when the wind blows and the glass falls off the shelf and breaks or if my elbow hits it and it falls to the ground I say of course. But when I know that the glass is already broken every minute with it is precious."

Cherish what you have and had.

 

[LuisDantas]

My sympathies. I don't really have much else to say.

I'm sorry to hear that, Magog. I've been there, so I now how rough it is. Just remember, all things are impermanent.

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Ouch.

We've been close once or twice, but scraped through.
Ya need a random crackpot to talk to, PM me and I can give you my Skype handle.

I'm so sorry. I can only offer that I wish you peace as you move forward. Life can be funny. What ails us today, may not ail us tomorrow.

Just offering a hug if you want one.

 

[Wherenextcolumbus]

Sad for you

 

[BSM1]

Dude, sorry. For what it's worth the sun will probably rise tomorrow.

[Gjallarhorn]

Ajahn Chah, actually.

Ajahn Chah, actually.

Hmmm...Buddha must have copied him..

Anyway good saying...

Thank you for all your thoughts. I don't know where this mess is going but it sure is a mess right now. And so am I.

Vast posts aren't my style, or feasible on my little phone, but there's plenty of stuff for my head to work on. At times like this I wish I an wasn't an INTP.

The last criticism of me was my 'Buddhist ways.' Apparently I should be more judgmental. Perhaps I shall try. But I don't really do anger or cope with conflict.

It's a mess and I'm rambling.

See you around, folks.

Hi Magog, sorry to hear about your pain. It sounds like you are entering some rough waters, I hope you both come out happier. Let us know how it goes.

I can't offer any advice or wisdom, I just hope you can cope with it all in time.

If twenty odd years doesn't represent a successful relationship then I don't know what does.

Not anger. Passion.

The stormy waters have subsided and the clouds departed. Thanks everyone, I need to come up for air.
