Hit and run on Goivernment Beach road

[Rumi in Hawaii]

cwaters, I am sorry for the loss of your dog, and the pain that Obie has sent your way with his remarks. But I am amazed and very heartened to see all the comments that are supportive of you, cwaters, and with such astute and compassionate friends such as these on Punaweb, hopefully your pain will be just a little bit less. Obie, you are (as Pema Chodron calls it) "the Bengali tea master" - an irascible rude person who constantly reminds us of our own faults, and also our ability to find compassion for ourselves and others; your input, therefore, is valued... if it were not for your comments, all these wonderful folks might have not come forward with their kindnesses..... My condolences. And once again, I am proud of the aloha that shines forth here on Punaweb.

Wherever you go, there you are.
