The price of being human

The words chosen by Lama Surya Das are so apt for this time of turmoil and sadness in Colorado, I want to be sure that everyone sees them in case you do not subscribe to his weekly service. 
With lovingkindness, compassion, and hope for healing of the terrible wounds suffered as a result of the tragedy,
Namaste,
Naomi

Weekly Words of Wisdom chosen by Lama Surya Das

It costs so much to be a full human being that there are very few who have the enlightenment or the courage to pay the price. One has to abandon altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace the world like a lover. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a stubborn will in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying. Morris West Australian novelist 1916 - 1999
