None of our possessions in that car matter
None of our human, man-made problems bothering our daily life matter
None of our thoughts of whose to blame or how we could have prevented this matter

It was absolute chaos that brought us here. It is love and gentle, healing care that will get us out. 2 sides, the same universal coin.

What a wonderful gatha. So glad you'r family's OK. May your mate's recovery be fast and complete.

Deep peace to all trauma victims and their families.
Deep peace to all rescuers and their families.
Deep peace to all, rescuers and rescued alike, who still feel the physical and emotional sequelae of trauma.

By the way (having been in a couple of serious accidents myself many years ago, fortunately without injury), there can be emotional effects that pop up days after ... even for you, who was not in the accident itself. Let the effects be the effects. Remember that Zen is not to turn us into emotional robots, and it is okay to be a bit sad or scared or shook up sometimes. That is how the brain is wired. Don't feel bad about sometimes feeling bad.

Talk to a counselor if you all need too.

Thank you all so much for your well wishes. I will post an update here soon.

Jundo, thank you for your advice. Going through this moment by moment, I'm doing my best to see my sadness and pain through one eye, and the open arms of the universe in the other. We are all a miracle.

Metta to you and your family Alexander. Your words to you daughter in the hospital resound with wisdom and compassion. I will try to remember them.

Hoping that everyone involved heals in timely fashion.

Alexander,
The crash and your loved ones encountered a storm of life. You, my friend, kept calm in the eye of the storm. That is what we do, and you handled it as a true bodhisattva.

Meta for your family, and peace and kudos to you my friend...you're doing it right

Update:
Everyone is recovering wonderfully. The little one has remarkably transitioned into her first 4 days of Kindergarden. My fiance is healing well. Stitches get looked at Friday.

Deep bows to all of you. I've shared your kind words with my family as I received them. It helped keep her spirits up knowing all of you, from around the world, were thinking of us. Thank you all.
