October 9, 2009
- Have you ever reflected back and wondered what may have become of a choice, had you chosen to do the opposite of what you did? That's not supposed to be a zen riddle. Just a simple question.

It is in the first couple of hours after I wake up that interesting thoughts pierce through the fiber of my awareness as needles sharpened by the quiet hours of the night.
