I woke out of horrible dream where I was grabbing an open (celophane) pack of three candles. The pack would have originally held six. I was talking to my young brother saying I cant stand the loss of our mum. I was crying. I woke up grief-struck.
Mum's been dead since January 21st 1981 (32 years) and look, I can still grieve as if she died yesterday.
Then, I remembered what that monk said in this Youtube:
(point 34:30) of Episode 3 of "Sex Death and the Meaning of Life"

He said:
Happiness is "when you know how to "stay alone" and go within.
I was shocked at the "Staying Alone bit
That was the Deli Lama's secretary.
After waking from my horrible, grievious, dream I thought and thought about "being alone and just observing" and I became more than just ok.
When I "be alone and just observe" the pain is gone ... Because "I" am gone.
