Evolution doesn’t care if you’re happy.Genes want survival: sex and cake.Nothing survives without food,said the Buddha. You are hungryfor the story you already believe.You’ve already waited for God,in his Judge Judy robe,to tell everyone you were right.And maybe you were right. Butyou already know how that thought goes,how it ends. That storydoesn’t care about your pain.Stay with her.Your pain, I mean.Your pain is in pain. She is anthropomorphizingherself. She has nothing to eat but story,and nowhere to rest.Stay in the room. Offer her the couchfor as long as she needs. You are learning how to listento her terrible wailing, how to hear wailing,though she will want to make it because.How to hold her.How to listen without telling herher story,how to bring her tea, and howto starve her.
