Today I woke up to not knowing.

A man goes from sleeping five hours a day, to a solid thirteen this last evening.

Our imperfections are many. They make us highly specific individuals.

Conjecture, I have received some kind of throat chakra upgrade - requiring my body to lie horizontal for the integration phase

That would sure explain the dreams

It would explain the twinges in my forehead and temples

A yogi once said "rightly they are called temples"

He compared them to the pineal gland in significance

We know nothing about our true abilities

We know nothing about our possibilities (Jon Snow)

To be a yogi is to live in the unknown

When I heard this it made me feel less powerless

It made me feel less a fool to live in "I don't know"

I get a lot better reviews when I play the expert

Today I will level with you

I don't know anything, but it's my quest to sound like I do

New goals then

Simply have fun with the words that want to come

Explore the things I really wanted to explore

No other being so rightly suited for this purpose

That is an impossibility

Meddling in the affairs of another

I've wasted a decade or more on that one

Why not meddle in my own affairs?

Why meddle at all? suggests god

Quiet suggetions of the inner yogi

Always breaking me with simplicity

Always a finer blade to be had

The mind defeated before the first blow

Entire constructs levelled in the blueprint phase

I used to weep when my plans were thwarted

Now I know that there are grander plans indeed

Over time we see that things fall into place

And trust we learn

To trust in grace
