The present moment

It can happen at any time and yesterday it came straight at me from the Bahamas, in fact right from Therapeia!!!  A call came in and I was subjected to a minute's worth of crazy ranting and raving, threats and accusations--just lots of verbal abuse from a misguided person who was very angry!!!  Well not everyone is on the spiritual path and it is sad but we must send out lovingkindness even in the worst of times.  Some people just don't realize the first noble truth--life is suffering///and the second noble truth-life is continually changing and not always to our liking...we refuse to make peace with this and act as if we can hold on and control..."May all beings enjoy happiness and the root of happiness..."   there is no need to be mean to try to blow off steam of anger!!
