Shortly after joining Treeleaf I began to have health issues. Your teachings and example have been inspirational to me as I've navigated physical pain and weakness. I'm sad to hear your body is continuing to deteriorate and hope you find peace in every moment.

Thank you for asking, Geika.

My weakness and pain is sadly only increasing.

There are moments of acceptance and moments of non-acceptance, moments of joy and moments when the fear overwhelms everything.

I guess this is essentially what it is to be human.

Hi Kokuu,

I'm sorry to hear about your health. But I'm happy to hear you can face it with equanimity at times.

Sitting with you and hoping for some good days ahead soon. Or at least some peaceful moments. I'll be thinking of you.
