Some good thoughts [above and below this] that are worth considering lately, which have inspired a few questions. Will let it cook until done. Meanwhile, there’s so much that I enjoy in this, perhaps especially because I don’t know anything for certain, other than the dance of yin and yang, with an ever-finer relationship in-between,…[Read more]

To accept these is like possessing jewels
Priceless, I could let them go
