He basically said that as we get older, more and more of our friends and relatives will die. We should use those occasions as an opportunity to meditate on death and impermanence. That is, according to him, "how to feel."<BR/><BR/>More on that soon.michael smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560852032333243756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32111613.post-45265725247954293372007-03-11T07:49:00.000-07:002007-03-11T07:49:00.000-07:00very touching broi was in central kham visiting a ...very touching bro<BR/><BR/>i was in central kham visiting a student (daofu county) when i found out about tommy. i was checking your blog for your phone number when i received lamar's email. i tried to call you but during the lunar new year most towns around here pretty much shut down, and every phone i found was restricted from international calls.<BR/><BR/>i got a little drunk that night, more for the birthday, and poured a little beer out for the kid the next day at a wedding.<BR/><BR/>it's hard to know how to feel.Dan Tierney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829558112001670435noreply@blogger.com
