Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Full Moon at Spirit Lake

Dearest Dan

Dale came over with Tea from his trip to Taiwan

Si paints "Salmon-Sake Sushi"

SiLas will not be able to eat Sushi after the transplant

14 months waiting for "The Call"

I asked SiLas today if he still feels like the Lizard in his painting and he said,
"Yep, more than ever. I feel more focused and mellow just like a Lizard."
Then I asked him how he feels when he thinks about the transplant and he said, " I
still get freaked out thinking about the surgery, I wish they could just fix my lungs so I wouldn't have to have the surgery. I know there is a chance I could just die on the operating table. But then theres the
possibility of breathing better too, so I just distract myself and focus on living." I asked him if he believes in reincarnation, and he responded with, " I'm still trying to figure out living, I can't think about dying. I just want to Live my Life without thinking about the transplant every day. Thinking about it isn't going to change the outcome one way or another."

Si's latest painting "Ikura" (salmon roe sushi)
