I have been saying "we're taking it one day at a time" for the last month regarding a loved one's cascading medical crises (I am their main caregiver)...while somehow simultaneously managing to forget "desire is the root of all suffering" and what that truism really means about the inevitability of all our ends. Thank you for such a profound yet fun(ky) reminder that living in the moment requires ongoing reckoning with suffering of all sorts.

Oh Bethann, I'm so sorry to hear of these cascading medical crises. I hope your loved one is doing as well as can be--and you, too. Thank you for sharing this and dancing with me to this funky philosophical reminder!
