    Metta to all

    During the last hour, two things have touched me deeply:
    My mother got the happy news that the tumor she was operated on is benign.
    An Airbus crashed over France, probably ever Person got killed, and a friend might be the pilot.

    I said metta for all receiving different news than my mum.
    I said metta for my friend, should he be involved, and his wife and kids.
    I said metta to all involved, all are somebody's mother, somebody's father or friend.

    Thank you for listening to a slow learner.
    Metta to all.

    Gassho,
    Danny

    That's great about your mum, Danny.

    We're just getting news about the Airbus. A tragic loss of life. So sorry for all affected.

              That must be such a relief Danny. Yes much metta to all who are suffering.
              An ex pupil told me his girlfriend committed suicide and he couldn't get there in time because he had to take a ferry ride. So much anguish everywhere!

                        I heard news from my friend, he was not on the Airbus, but is devastated about the catastrophe.
                        He has lost colleagues and friends on that flight.

                        I'll be sitting this night for the victims' friends and families, especially those who have lost children.

                        Gassho,
