Thank you so much. The part about your friend's soul being excited about being blind in one eye gave me pause. Then, in the continued reading it helped me to see the importance of looking at those setbacks, the diseases and conditions that cause suffering as either experiences that can lead us to a new understanding or one of continued suffering. My daughter is experiencing a chronic health condition which has made it difficult to work or enjoy the things she used to enjoy. When I call her for our weekly chats I try to support her by asking about those things that she is doing now to bring her a new passion for living. Some days she is open to it, other days not so much, but in many ways this new way of being has opened up new doors for her.
