Ya know --- I really enjoy good expository writing that points us towards who and what we are giving us clues what to do or what not to do. Hey we all feel better when we're motivated to do or to simply be --- motivational enlightenment so to speak. When you're wrestling an octopus you do a better job if you know how each of its arms behave. Virginia's favorite time of the day is morning during sunrise --- simply being silent and watching the play of changing light and colors bathing the clouds and horizon. Sort of a reverie without the kick of the ego into hard pyschological thought. No problems in this happening. Everyone has their own way of backing into glimpsing their enlightenment.
