Somewhere in a remote region of the Southwestern United States, a park ranger was seated in his high tower. It overlooked the deep canyons and ravines that ran through the national park where he'd worked for the past twenty years. Looking out over the terrain through his binoculars, he could see a thunderstorm gathering in the west and knew it was only a matter of minutes until a flash flood w...

Part 1: Conscious suffering is the seed and unseen action of rebirth; unconscious suffering is the seed and unseen action of death. Part 2: To do as one really wishes to do -- so as to not do what one knows one ought not -- one must remember one's original wish in each moment when life asks what is it that one wants more than anything else.
