Last night, a got a pain in my lower right back. Not new to back pain, I tried to ignore it. 8 hours later, took my daughter to school. Came home and that is when the pain really kicked in. Nothing helped. Finally decided to go to the ER. Surprisingly, waiting there, the pain slowly went away. After 6 and a half hours of waiting and tests, turns out to be a kidney stone. 3mm. My notion of truth was pain and suffering are a great motivator. I realize I do not have a lot of time on this earth. And if there was anything to bring meaning to this life, I hope it would be to become more open minded, more mindful, help others, and be good to my family and friends. Buddha said something like this all that one is .. is a result of everything one has thought. Time to see the truth.
