I understand that I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry. I could say I didn't mean it but I did. I want to shake you awake for surely you slumber. Be mindful. That's the best advice I can give... the best advice I've ever heard. And watch out for self-styled gurus. They aren't what they seem. Dan PS I've been a practioner of Vipassana meditation for some years now. There is a center about 35 miles from where I live that I visit 3 to 4 times a year. I've only done the 10 day retreats but I am considering getting serious about it. There are many centers throughout the US and the world. I think you might find it of value. Google it and you'll find all the info you need. _________________________________________________________________ Express your personality in color!
