No Mud, No Lotus
I ate a bunch of strawberries (they looked so amazing at the farmers' market), and now I'm riding out a severe rosacea flare. Needless to say (but I'll go ahead and say it anyway), the suffering has been great for the past 2 days, with last night being particularly intense. I have learned from this recent bad bout that I don't know how to suffer well.
So, as a source of personal comfort, I'm going to make "no mud, no lotus" my mantra for a while. And, I guess I'll also get to see and experience first hand if suffering really does lead to deeper understanding and greater compassion.
Blessings to all!

oh, i am so sorry this has happened to you. i can only guess at your pain, hugs that cannot hurt, Lilly
Thank you, Lilly! The pain was pretty severe. I'd give it a 7 out of 10, with times where it would throb or burn and spike to an 8 or 9. It was much better by end of day yesterday... and this morning I seem to be a bit further along in healing from the flare. This is the second time strawberries have hurt me... they are on the "no" list for sure now...
