Hi John,   

I can't even begin to tell you how much I value your posts.  

I have not directly experienced the loss of a child... I have 
experienced anguish and joy; I DO experience them, but they 
cannot be contained, not in a word or a  moment.  Is caring 
a definition?  Caring is not intellectual, it is not social, it is not 
biological or inorganic.  Caring is without knowledge, definition, 
divisibility.  Caring is immediate.  Suffering seems to me a more 
generalized term, even when I read it in a Buddhist context. Is 
caring Quality?  

What is unconditional love?  


Yours, 

Marsha  

p.s.  I placed 'Never Let Me Go' into my Netflix queue.  I'll be 
watching it right after  'American: The Bill Hicks Story'.
