Closure, Acceptance, and Letting Go.

You may remember Thich Nhat Hanh words from that sutra we recite, Please Call Me by My True Names. I can't remember the exact words, but something about my joy is overflowing and my suffering is like a river of tears. So it's the nature of life, if we've developed an empathic connection with everything, then our life has a kind of joy to it but it doesn't ignore and it doesn't lose an empathy for the experience of suffering, that either we experience or other people experience in life. But it's kind of like it's okay; that's just the rich experience of being a human being.
