on 20 November 2006,

i went to a crystal singing bowl meditation with a friend of mine. the woman running the event explained to us, briefly, the seven major chakras and told us that each of the bowls was created to tune into one of those energy centers. before we began she went around the room and had each of us state what it was we wanted to manifest in our lives. i felt dubious curiosity, but when my turn came i said "discernment."

the past two years have illustrated that my ignorance was vast,
and i hope it continues to grow.
