"What is the difference between a monk and a husband?
What is the difference between a priest and a layperson?
I accept that this world is terrible and full of suffering.
And I also enjoy happiness when it comes to me.
As long as I am with Tao, distinctions are superfluous."
I know there is room for both the dread and the wonder of this life. If I consider prayerfully, then neither predominates. With this, so often, I need so much help. I now know I can not only ask for it, but also use the tools I have honed or been given with greater confidence.
