As I began to eat, I became mindful of a presence in the room and gratitude filled my heart. Actually it was before I ate, when I was walking back into the living room. I cried out in recognition, "I love You!", and a bit of embarrassment for my lack of appreciation of the presence in the room. It is Ahn. He accepts and loves me unconditionally, and i can feel that viscerally when I am grateful. He's always been there, but due to my complaining (self-victimization), I have been unaware. I have felt alone. We aren't alone, any of us. Because we exist, we always exist, and our whole life is a gift we can shape through keeping to the contract. I am learning that I am just a fractal of the larger whole. or, a part (but the part contains the whole, as is seen with the mandelbrot set) of God. Since our creation as observers essentially granted us co-godhood, and we do get to choose the nature of the lessons we get, be they painful or pleasant.
eating this marvelous food makes it all even better
