Sitting for Emily Keyes/ Bodhichitta

crow said Sep 29, 2006, 6:07 AM:
 

I have two daughters of my own, 11 and 9. The news of the hostage taking in Bailey, Colerado this week, and the death of Emily Keyes, have been very sad for me.

Thoughts about this event sneak into any opportunity I take to meditate. When I become aware of it, I let the thought pass, but I move into the place where it hurts, the ache of the heart, and I breathe through it, listen to it. Being close to those feelings is my way of reaching out to Emily and to all who are touched by what happened. 

bows,
Tea
