    Thats true. And right now is the time to remember how you felt on the Buddhist weekend, and maybe even do a little chanting right now

    Great advice if only I had the energy.
    4 falls in two days takes it out of you.

    Just wondering if the falls have stopped now? Are you OK?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
