Deek IS one of my bodhisaatva guardians, a taskmaster putting me through my paces. Like a buddhist monk in training, an acolyte, a “grasshopper” if you will, instructed to take on any task so mandated, no matter how petty, grueling, pesky or repulsive…with gratitude and joy, not a WHIT of complaint, resistance or sluggish behavior in carrying them out. And in so doing, I finally shed any remaining vestige of a negative reflex.
