Slept with it.
Sat with it.
How am I others?
How are others me?
Through empathy and compassion.
As i/others feel, others/i also feel.
When i/others need something, others/i provide it.
For an example of this look no further than members' responses to Risho above.
(Not mine, however, as it was quite weak.)
He bowed, and others sprang forth.
Or was it the other way around?

Its nice when you come out to play... now and again .

This is absolutely true.

Just do not fail to also see that we ... you, me, dogs and all things ... are all fully the caterpillar through and through, not merely caterpillar hairs. (For further details, take "butterfly" story above and substitute "caterpillar").

Yep that's the tricky part. hahahahah Thought I had it all figured out yesterday, feeling puffed up about my great answer... Here I am again, caught in emotion. lol Thank goodness it's called practice; because we just have to keep practicing, practicing, practicing.

Gasso,
