Calling Lakota, Sioux Nation & All Native American Medicine People
Dear PTree,
I am so sorry for your trouble. No one needs those kinds of events in their lives...terribly frustrating.
I'm so glad you got out! You must be one smart cookie!
Reading your posts, here and there, I have always thought so.
Have you been able to secure yourself a safe home? ...Your own 'circle of warmth', as someone once called it?
I am sad for your mom, too. There is likely nothing you can do for her, except wish her well...from a safe and secure place of your own.
Recently, I had the opportunity to free my mom of her regrets. When she mentioned that, given the chance to raise her kids again, she'd do it differently. Out of the blue, I came up with the suggestion, "Let's say you did."
Her imagination leapt at the opportunity.
I figure that memory and imagination are stored in approximately the same place. Why not let one go and depend upon the other...especially if, in imagination, we do it better?
I very much like the third video link you gave, above. (I have no audio, right now.) I love the simple and clear philosophy...it's a beauty.
I've also been attempting to write my own philosophy, and some of how I got to it.
Here is the thread...

The good and happiness within a person is somehow separate from our day-to-day woes, I think. Maybe that's what life is all about...going to a better future...as a flower or a tree grows toward its fulfillment....building on the best of the past...hardships forgotten in the glory of the beauty ahead.
My best, PTree...and most importantly, your best.
