Can we see our ‘stuff’ just for what it is, rather than making it into a big ‘me’ and ‘my problem’ – the things I’ve got to work out, resolve, fix, get beyond, get rid of; thinking about what I’m lacking or what I’ve got obstructing me. All this stuff! It’s really just the play of the mind… has causes and conditions for its existence. It’s the stuff of the world. And, it’s the stuff that we learn from, actually. If we don’t acknowledge suffering, if we aren’t aware of suffering,then where do we find the energy to understand it and go beyond it? In other words, whatever we’ve got to work with, it’s the stuff of awakening – if we can find the right relationship to it.

I ran across a blog post the other day about suffering.
How do we judge suffering, really?
Is it comparison to our past or someone else or predicting our future?
Wonder if next month life doubles in difficulty, what will we call this situation.
I have learned that life just is and suffering is a cognitive judgment by our ego.
I have chronic pain and C-PTSD but I do not suffer, I accept it and make the best of it smiling and staying present.
