June 26th

Dear Annette:

Be glad the 423 verses are only 97 pages ( not the 60,000 books
of the Buddhist Canon)  and that would take a large house to
house.

No, not cross-reference, but to read and think about.

Take things in small bites, a "day at a time."  Its easier but
just as sure in the long run -- says my experience ( IMHO )  I
must remember to put that in at least once or Gerry may object --
and he is of course right.

Have fun,        Dal
