i read about how susan longed for refuge in this crazy world and i felt the words, the same longing too, i've always longed for refuge, and the longing grows as the world grows crazier and more precarious, and makes more towers and megadevelopments while destroying places of refuge. but susan refers to interior refuge, in buddhanature. is what we long for within? but what about the world—the air, the water, the land. the world has soul and buddhanature too. maybe parts of the world can't be preserved, but buddhanature is indestructible.
