All of the Dharma is based on Buddha's discovery that suffering is unnecessary: Like a disease, once we really face the fact that suffering exists, we can look more deeply and discover it's cause; and when we discover that the cause is dependent on certain conditions, we can explore the possibility of removing those conditions.

I got kind of snookered last night. My stomach was upset, so I was not fully fooded up when I began having a few drinks...and this brought "The Woozy" on in full force.
There was nothing special about the whole evening, except for the wonderful company (
which, by the way, was extremely exceptionally wonderful). No deep spiritual events, no ashrams, no magical incantations...just folks sharing space with each other.
So, to get to my point before I ramble y'all to death, I've had an awakening of sorts. Nothing like what I've experienced before. I feel different. Something is different.
I'm not sure how to explain it, and I don't think I'm going to try. The outcome of this event will just have to be part of my future.
Never have I been this thankful.
