Thanks for the prayers Steve.
You once suggested there'd be a reason why circumstance has me here with my parents. That it wasn't clear at first. Tonight my Mom told me, "thank God you still live here Eric," followed by a comment that I don't wish to share.
You see, she is dealing with a lot of stress and she does seem to find solace in my being here, despite my inability to always be kind or patient towards her. While I am here, I believe I have to work harder towards peace in the house and at the family level.
This is the same, to me, as choosing to work within. The house is a symbol for the inner sanctum.
This is an interesting comment Eric. Your understanding of your health issues and peace in your environment is essential to your meditation progress. We think of you daily in our prayers as well. No one can really understand our unusual relationship and may be quite surprised to find we enjoy one another’s company when we communicate in person.
