I try to reserve "I and me" for passages where I'm telling my own stories or providing personal examples to illustrate a point, but I use "we and us" when writing generally about things that seem to be more or less universal experiences. <br /><br />Ponlop Rinpoche says that within the experience of attraction or passion there is actually a very pure and beautiful energy of joy that is the essence of one of the five wisdom energies. Trouble is, we don't experience it that way, or leave it at that -- we typically take that energy and grasp at it and spin out into obsession and grasping.Dennis Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768594614249854053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911194092037701909.post-22027002017641753522009-08-15T00:08:50.535-03:002009-08-15T00:08:50.535-03:00I would like to see you write more personally rath...I would like to see you write more personally rather than using we and us so much. In Dorje Denma Ling community meetings it always comes up that people are encouraged to speak for themselves and to use I and me in speaking. It is a gentler read when what is presented comes from a personal direct voice rather that a detached and narrative voice. I love your writing and am glad for the connection to you as you progress along your path. Since your ordination your writing has flourished and I hope you write more.<br />Lust in the Dust is great because in a talk today the experience of attraction came up where the teacher pointed out how attraction often comes with a sense of poverty. " I want that person" followed by a narrative about how that could or could not happen. Attraction is powerful - as I go along I am experiencing how it differs from being magnetized.egomzezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908273643082523352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911194092037701909.post-76493551335627665242009-08-15T00:02:54.251-03:002009-08-15T00:02:54.251-03:00Glad you are writing moreGlad you are writing moreegomzezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908273643082523352noreply@blogger.com
