Comments on: Through the night http://hundredmountain.com/archives/585 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:49:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: douglas http://hundredmountain.com/archives/585/comment-page-1#comment-919 douglas Tue, 12 Jan 2010 04:30:39 +0000 http://hundredmountain.com/?p=585#comment-919 Thanks for the note, Jill. I was so moved by this piece, I wrote the fellow and suggested a metta or loving-kindness meditation that my meditation teacher taught me and which I have long used when hit with insomnia late at night or just fear - the meditation has a circular, soothing, centering quality that can be repeated and explored for long periods. And he wrote back, thankful and gracious. He must have some reading set-up - or people read to him. It is true we need people in worse straits sometimes to remind us what is at hand in our own lives. Hugs to you. I hope to make it to Chi-town in this new year and would love to see you. Thanks for the note, Jill.

I wish I could volunteer to hang out with this guy at night. It would be an excellent use of my night owl tendencies. Thanks for sharing this. Although I sometimes think it's rather pathetic that it's stories like these that can help me be grateful for all that I have, it's the truth. Good health alone, is a remarkable, wonderful gift. Wow.

Although I sometimes think it’s rather pathetic that it’s stories like these that can help me be grateful for all that I have, it’s the truth. Good health alone, is a remarkable, wonderful gift.
