In lieu of me posting the updates lately - sorry guys things slow down after the Odyssey for me (ya right). Anyway, came across this video and until he finds his inner peace it reminds me of my attempts to be "one" with myself. I know horrible downfall on my part, and thanks to Gene for thinking I could make 2:45 before I caved it was about 32 seconds actually - 4 or 5 times over I tried. Different rooms, places, positions, ughhh my mind is not a quiet place.
