Hi Open. You coined that 1. Love how you put things in word form. Pain has become a best friend of "mind". I take it where ever I go. The difference after all the years I let it control me is now I stay aware and in the stillness with the pain, I am one with the pain and in that or those moments the pain is transformed to something totally different. It's kinda like first look at something that may be considered ugly, until you see the beauty in it.

It was a long time coming, but now I see the positive in the pain, it is on the surface and not hiden.

Much Love everyone

Charlie
