This is a beautiful message, Paul. Thank you. I love to ask myself "who does the moment call for?" or "what would love do?"

No comfort at all, you're right.

I almost decided to start drinking. I always almost decide and never do though.

I'm not sure (but then I don't drink either)

I'm just very tired of being mindful.

Yet what can one do if "he's standing by a window", I guess he's there being mindful. At least I am

Thank you, Paul

Being mindful enough to forget… and graceful enough to know how to hold that door open for a few seconds. Seems like a good place. Thanks Paul!
