Athena--Another thought for you. Suffering comes from thinking that the present moment could be any different than it is. All of life is a constant unfolding into the present moment, and just as you can't smell a flower until the petals have opened, your understanding has to open for you to smell the sweetness of life. Would a flower smell sweeter if it opened sooner? So enjoy the sweetness, however much it is and whenever it comes.
