I think we’re all a bit lost ha

Hey Sky can I ask you how you use smilies. I’ve tried and tried and I just can’t seem to get them to come up on my comments.

I’ve got an iPad.

Thanks.

Have you tried using a different Browser, that might solve your problem. Does your iPad not have it's own smilies which you can use?
Other than these suggestions 'I'm lost'

Just adding a little lightness to this topic lol
I love that humorous take which reminds me of Bodhidharma's classic interaction with the Chinese Emperor.

I am eliminating the ego element "I" with another rendition of Bodhidharma's response: "Not knowing".

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

I stumbled on this gem of a movie.
Amongst white clouds

It's a 2005 documentary giving us a peek into the lives of some buddhist hermits in the Zhongnan Mountain range in China.

I thought it was very much worth the watch. Possibly for non-buddhists as well.

Really good documentary, I've watched it a couple of times.
