....and no one flushing hot and cold when the doctor says "cancer"
...pardon moi, that's a bit pointed. No knock on the poetry.

No worries Kojip. Knock all you want on the "poetry". It's not intended as fine art!
Nothing wrong with being a bit pointed, to the point!
There's a lot of doomsday news and winter depression going on, so if I get to choose, I rather think of birds singing and flowers blossoming than birds dying from cold and starvation and withering flowers. That's self-delusion in a way, but as long as we're not getting lost too much in the illusion, I don't see much harm coming from it. Sometimes though we may feel like all the dukkha in the universe has landed on top of us all of a sudden, weighing us down. In those times, talk about birdsong, flowers and perfect circles might not be what you want to hear... If that is true for you, I apologize. If you only want to point to the whole experience of life and samsara, not just the fairweather part, then that is fair. All is well.
Thank you,
