Do you think it would be crazy for me to send my twin a letter to his home address?

i'm on to other things....i think this subject has just about worn itself out, especially since the op is gone.

(I hope the OP found her answer regarding the original topic.)

I hope so too since we took over her thread poor thing!

I love the way you think. I feel quite similarly. I've been lead towards Buddhist practices through my guidance. I haven't really listened I'm ashamed to say BUT I've been forced to learn patience through this TS situation and others. One thing I can tell you is it is making me a MUCH more tolerant gentle patient mother. Not that I was a beast before but I am much more aware now, and I can appreciate that fully.

I have some books by a Buddhist woman... I can't think of her name. They speak of these things you mention here. She writes about staying strong through the dark times.
