## Resource

You dropped something this morning, and you heard what you said to yourself. It was quick and flat and it barely registered, and you've been saying versions of it for about forty years. This episode isn't about being nicer to yourself, because you've heard that already. It's about a question somebody once put to the Dalai Lama that he couldn't understand, and what that reveals about the one relationship you never get a day off from.
