My Dear Friend & POTUS, JRB,

            Have you tested negative yet? Are you feeling better? Do you think we’ll ever get back to normal?

            At my Yangon Meeting last night, a Friend from Australia observed that we are all exhausted from CV, climate change, the Russian invasion of Ukraine & the coup in Burma, so we feel like we are entitled to some relief. We just want some comfort & yearn for the day when we can relax & let our guards down. Perhaps this sense of unease has always overshadowed human existence which is why the Buddha’s 1st Noble Truth, Dukkha, is “Life is suffering.”

            On this Sunday, I hope we both find some joy amidst our challenges & I wish for the same for everyone in the world, especially those in Burma.

            BYBS,
