    There is something about twilight that sets the stage for improvisation. Inventing a place where things can retreat back into a shell of anonymity, where choices can be prioritized, remembered, forgotten, dismissed, as having no longer the hold on you they once did. Of course that is fantasy. We do not have the power or will to transform the past to suit the present, yet, it is more than transformation, because conversion is simply rearranging facts to provide a basis for becoming oblivious to reality.  Reality is the witness that cannot be silenced by the truth, and yet we attempt to cajole ...ZYJone door

But she didn’t tell me what didn’t count as meditation. Up and down, up and do...ZYJone door
