a spiritual sister's words resonate.....
The intention to live according to Buddhist precepts has had a profound effect & created a holding within which the spiritual has become integral to the everyday: an embodied, engaged spirituality. From a younger need for intensity & extreme experience I seem to have moved into a certain level of simplicity, where "chopping wood & carrying water" have become the staple of the spiritual life.

Where the Mischief Comes From
When attention to the present moment falters and we drift into some version of ‘I have to have it my way,’ a gap is created in our awareness of reality as it is, right now. Into that gap pours all the mischief of our life. We create gap after gap after gap, all day long. The point of practice is to close those gaps, to reduce the amount of time that we spend being absent, caught in our self-centered dream. ~~Charlotte Joko Beck, “Attention Means Attention”

Here is a copy of the Caregiver’s Bill of Rights by Jo Horne
A few of the rights include:
To take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will give me the capability of taking better care of my loved one.
To reject any attempts by my loved one (either conscious or unconscious) to manipulate me through guilt, and/or depression.
