> Your submission really touched me. If I could reach out to you through this very minimal medium I want to say that I would hug to so hard if I could. We are so goddamn alienated. How much pain and torment would be relieved if we had the number of requisite hugs per day. Our culture makes sure that we are alienated. I know, I am a struggling Buddhist, how difficult it is to attempt to make some sense of this suffering and pain without letting go - and god knows I have tried to let go - and how we all crave for that resurrection and deliverance from all this pain. I am sure it will sound trite but just know that my heart is sending out "good vibes" to you. Michele
Hi Michelle: Thanks for your follow-up- I'm touched. Yeah I practiced Buddhist Vipassana meditation for a couple of years and I thought it would help me maintain some sense of stability in the face of the depression. I found that the depression/fear of depression was a lot bigger than I had thought! So now I have turned to drugs and am still hoping... Anyway I wish you all the best in your own journey. Peace. Peter
