lol, somewhere in the nineties i wrote something with that title inspired muchly by sleepless in seattle because i am a ridiculously hoplessly hopeful romantic at heart and meg ryan is just too cute (she has her own garden after all, as so many other fantasies have {remember stevie, from long before the internet, there are hundreds of pages in her book} and tom and meg do that innocent awkward amazing love at first site so awfully well and that was the most magical love i ever knew way back when, that first sight (site? lol) feeling, and i would love to find it again but that's sort of another story)... i didn't find it, but until i do, here is the point of it all...
yeah, so i whine and complain and detail the drama or life (of? lol) and maybe you think i am in need of comfort or reassurance or something (oh?) but while comfort and reassurance is wonderful (won't see me turning it away, sometimes lam) i am mostly lam (laughing at myself) between the lines as i record the experience i know as life... the annoyances, frustrations, and any other worrisome events pour into words and resolve into peaceful acceptance as i figure out what i want (wonder if i still do now lol lam) and then i do it... love that freedom amidst the compromises of life...
if you only knew the peace and pleasure that comes for me after letting everything flow into words, you'd understand... something like this (so simple old friend)... and if you find joy in the sadness, you just may know the secret to a happy life...
it's a wonderful life, full of fun and emo and narf :)

(Shurangama Sutra and Mantra)(Kṣitigarbha)(Avalokiteśvara) (Amita Buddhaya)(Bhaiṣajyaguru)
The Twelve Vows of the Medicine Buddha upon attaining Enlightenment, according to the Medicine Buddha Sutra are:
To illuminate countless realms with his radiance, enabling anyone to become a Buddha just like him.
To awaken the minds of sentient beings through his light of lapis lazuli.
To provide the sentient beings with whatever material needs they require.
To correct heretical views and inspire beings toward the path of the Bodhisattva.
To help beings follow the Moral Precepts, even if they failed before.
To heal beings born with deformities, illness or other physical sufferings.
To help relieve the destitute and the sick.
To help women who wish to be reborn as men achieve their desired rebirth.
To help heal mental afflictions and delusions.
To help the oppressed be free from suffering.
To relieve those who suffer from terrible hunger and thirst.
To help clothe those who are destitute and suffering from cold and mosquitoes.
Thanks, but #8, really?... even Buddha?... what about the men who want to be reborn as women, I mean, fairness, equality, balance, get it right next time, eh Bud? (and Buddha laughs :)
