I thought I knew how to answer that young man (of course he should talk more with his mother!). Shortly thereafter, however, the subtlety of Hanh's response began to creep up to me.<br /><br />Now, here, I would ask: “How could we know how to be with each other, if we do not even know what we are?”<br /><br />The only value that seems to stand up to any kind of permutation, seems to be basic kindness in the here and now. And even this - just putting it into words - lends itself to all sorts of dogmatizing.<br /><br />Because my words are like bricks, they tend to build walls. So: all I should say is “I’m with you man.”Melinda Flemingnoreply@blogger.com
