family, friends, quiet time, good food, good sleep.
things my ego needs:
career success; intellectual superiority; being cool.
eeek. this is not pretty.
for a moment, a magic wand has taken away these things.
i better have built up my reservoir of understanding, so when these things go, that really is all there to it, that they're gone. the task at hand is just to find that elusive peace of mind once again, that just had another layer stripped away, but also just darted away to some dark, hidden corner.
theoretically, when i find it again, it will be even clearer, brighter.
