[MD] an authentic teacher?

[Heather Perella]

     [Dallas]
Death is an embarrassment, because it
is a reminder of the ultimate nature of our selves,
the lack of any kind
of absolute reality, i.e. emptiness.


    [Ron]
If one is great enough in their relationships, they
live on in the minds
which knew them. Thoughts are experience. In this way
they exist.
If they are known nationally they may become a
cultural symbol.
I can still talk to my brother as if he's sitting
right there.
In this way, he still exists. 
He exists as much as universities church and the
government.
Somehow you only really feel life through death
chewing on your ass..
It makes the sweet sweeter, it allows you to take each
moment and savor it makes you aware that we burn in
the present. Being a student of experience I will
experience.  Be it death or life..  painful or not.
Emptiness is in your mind.


     Isn't it something Ron, how death has a way of
making life "sweeter", and "take each moment and savor
it"?  I see death playing a very active moment by
moment role in our experience.  Death is the letting
go, the non-clinging, and part of the process of
change whether this change is seasonal or day to
night, hot tea becoming cold.  
     Emptiness is another boundless notion where
different definitions can occupy its' space at the
same time and place.  Whether emptiness might mean for
one person a sense of sad loneliness or for another a
horizonless or unbound web of relationships.  By this
I agree that "emptiness is in your mind".  It depends
on your perspective which is circumstance related.

P.S. Ron, did you see any snow yet?  I saw some for
the first time this cold season yesterday.  Today some
fell also.
