Summary

The games we play...some thoughts about Right View. Thich Nhat Hanh says: "Our happiness and the happiness of those around us depend on our degree of Right View. Touching reality deeply -- knowing what is going on inside and outside of ourselves -- is the way to liberate ourselves from the suffering that is caused by wrong perceptions. Right View is not an ideology, a system, or even a path. It is the insight we have into the reality of life, a living insight that fills us with understanding, peace, and love."

1:13.9	last couple of weeks as I had family in town. So for for the holidays for
1:20.5	Christmas we had my mom and my two siblings with their families come into town
1:25.8	to spend the holiday with us. This was a meaningful gathering for us as this
1:30.4	was the first gathering or well the first Christmas that we've had since my dad
