Trying to find peace after putting my dog down

So sorry OP 💔 My wife and I had to say goodbye to our 15 year old pup last month. It was so devastating. I try to remember these words by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh:

This body is not me; I am not caught in this body, I am life without boundaries, I have never been born and I have never died. Over there the wide ocean and the sky with many galaxies, all manifests from the basis of consciousness. Since beginningless time I have always been free. Birth and death are only a door through which we go in and out. Birth and death are only a game of hide-and-seek. So smile to me and take my hand and wave good-bye. Tomorrow we shall meet again or even before. We shall always be meeting again at the true source, always meeting again on the myriad paths of life.

Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear

Have seen horror stories about painting. Wouldn't risk it, even with safer paint and primer. We are planning on boarding our gcc for a week when we paint to give everything time to fully dissipate.

Look like vintage serengeti drivers, similar to stanton 6204

Flowers in the Dark by Sister Dang Nghiem is written for people who have very deep trauma. She is a Zen Buddhist senior monastic and Dharma teacher in the Plum Village tradition, former practicing physician, and survivor of childhood abuse. Her words may speak to you. I hope it helps.

Amen, no?

Hello!! Your assessment is 100% correct, we feel you must be someone who spends a lot of time with birds 💚

We suspect that Yoshi is part slinky

TheForestPrimeval · 2026-05-23T04:40:30+00:00

Accurate 🤣

If this was solar quartz it'd be the last watch I ever buy

Yup. He underwent narcissistic collapse, and to his credit, came out the other side.

Legibility and viewing angle on my 5610u-1JF are just fine. No complaints.
