Bittersweet

Life at best is bittersweet.
Jack Kirby 



The Tibetan Buddhist tradition has a meditation practice called tong-len that asks us to breathe in the suffering of the world, to hold it in that unbreakable place of compassion and to then breathe back light.  In a world full of love and beauty,
it can, I believe, taste bittersweet at times.
