3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Thursday was an oddly frustrating day for everyone without being particularly traumatic. Son as he anticipated had a bad day on his sound-mixing test, paired with an idiot. Missus was really sleepy and slept right through our "slot" so missing out on having her "natural needs" satisfied. I got engrossed (ok obsessed!) with a new self-hypnosis video which took up most of the day, when I could have used the time more productively elsewhere.

Interesting synchronicity indeed! There there are plus-sides all round. Missus and Son will be much better off for their prolonged sleep, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the unexpected me time I got. I am quite pleased with myself how accepting and adaptable I was to the unusual turn of events, but I was fortunate that nothing happened which trod on any raw nerves.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Without dialogue, humans are fated to walk in the darkness of their own dogmatic self-righteousness. Dialogue is the lamp by which we dispel that darkness, lighting and making visible for each other our steps and the path ahead.
