???? Patience… it would give me time to reflect, forgive, understand, respond, think…. Teaching elementary school (especially 1st and 2nd grade) really helped me with this!
Perspective.
Let me realize that others may not have a firm grasp on truth to the ultimate extent of it and be patient and tolerant.
Detachment
Forgiveness
Gift
Forgiveness.
Gift
Opportunity. (Every situation is an opportunity to learn something; every moment presents an opportunity to appreciate beauty; every struggle an opportunity to overcome and grow.)
Acceptance.????
What one word could I focus on this week that could make me show up more gratefully?
The root cause of all existence. Without it existence would not be.
“Love”
What about True Emptiness? Wonderful Existence is not apart from it.
Getting carried away.
Unconditional Love is a wonder indeed.
Emptiness is Form, Form is Emptiness
So the Zen Kone goes...... I you agree with them then so called, "emptiness" is very much existence because it is and has form, not detectable by the 5 senses but very much there.

"'The best thing for being sad,' replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, 'is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.

“‘The best thing for being sad,’ replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, ‘is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.'”
