Saturday, August 26: Addictions vs. Possibilities

VARIOUS ADDICTIONS
This is a list to help us all think of how much of our life is bound up in habit and patterns, some of which are so tight and constant that the word "addiction" is not too strong for what is going on. Read and weep. No, really, read and breathe and be present and then smile: once we see that we are in prison, we can begin to search for ways out.

Believe it or not, this site is all about getting out of that prison;

So read, think, breathe, feel, move, sense and ENJOY.

And Learn, or not, depending on .......?
