    Thank you dear Sangha!

    Wow, I am so grateful for that waxy buildup! This story reminds me to look deeply, to see the nature of each thing, or each "problem," and work with it, not against it. Wax will always drip and spill, but next time we'll know how better to respond.

    Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

      Thank you all!

      My mother always taught me that the way to get wax spills off was to put a piece of paper over it then apply the iron. I think that was what you did.

        Ha ha! Love all the Karate Kid references! Best movie ever! And I had no idea about the wax tip--super handy.

        But more seriously, thanks for the reminder that under the wax, there is always the altar of life.

          Yes, As well, Altar is the wax, wax is the Altar ... although hard to see that sometimes.

            Thank you everyone.
            I will be thinking about that wax for a while, there truly is wisdom to be found in everything.
