    Another option would be to view it in light of how you used your will to steer the course of events. Instead of just giving in to her repeated demands, you held on to YOUR course based on the observations that it was the balanced thing to do in the situation. In return, maybe she learned from it in that she will not achieve resolution by simply saying “pay the amount that was punched in”, and will maybe have to change her ways next time.

    Its all a learning process. If you just let go of it, what have you learned? Eventually your shen will let it go anyway once you have processed it. I find that intense emotional situations (like performances for me) require a lot of thought and processing, but they naturally let go of themselves once they have been processed.

    My hermit retreat is coming to a close . . .
    I will be leaving the day after tomorrow (the 4th).
    It’ll formally be about a day and a half sooner than
    my original plan, but I need to get home to do some
    laundry and a few things before another workshop I
    have scheduled for this upcoming weekend. 😉

    Even so, it’s been a fabulous time, and it will be
    my longest such retreat yet (3.5 weeks)

    Long periods of jubilation and bliss, of enjoying the
    silence, of enjoying the solitude, while spending
    my days doing qigong, meditation, listening to
    inspirational/spiritual CDs, reading similar materials,
    etc.

    Periods also punctuated by “hard times” . . .
    Difficult deep feelings of loneliness, of feeling unloved,
    very primal feelings . . .
    Memories of all kinds of things flooding back at strange
    and unexpected times, memories of recent things, memories
    of things from ten years ago, memories of when I was
    only 5 years old . . .
    Some of these were quite challenging . . .

    At the same time, this is “good stuff” also.
    In fact, aside from having some devoted practice time, it is
    one of the reasons for coming and putting oneself into such
    a position. Stuff comes up. And there is no escape. There
    is no place to run to. You have to face it.
    You have no choice. The only way out, is through.

    It makes you stronger.
    It lets you appreciate life in a whole new way . . .

    I’m both ready and eager to get back home and
    connect back in with a “regular” life, while equally
    well feeling I could be happy here for another couple months . . .

    Steven
