“Self-importance is our greatest enemy.  Think about it— what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men.  Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone… Without self- importance we are invulnerable.” —Carlos Castaneda - “The Fire From Within”

Some flash light, some force of flame Picking out diamond points                                  of falling leaves and the river of stars. This is the year I’m scraping the ice away from its...
