Hi,
I'd love to drop by the house. Maybe if I catch the next plane I could
be there on
Friday.
Kotowza may be a zen thing. They are also simple proverbs. "Sit on a
rock for three
years." is about being patient and sticking with something. "Even
monkeys fall from
trees." is about being arrogant. I don't know many.
Tell us, how do you ceate magiK water? A clear intention, an empowering
desire to have it manifest, and ... ?
