Sad - No Problem

About this episode

Mary reflects on the realities of life and the sentiment of accepting sadness without it being a problem.

Held in the shadow of Mary's husband's illness, this talk is a simple reflection on life's realities and the sentiment, "Very sad, no problem," as a path of equanimity. Sadness, joy and everything else does not need to be a problem. Instead, it's simply reality and we can choose how to show up.
