How is my battle going with the impskies? Well, eating wise they have won a few. But I'm not back to the big eat and I probably never will be. Some of my choices have not been the best--too much sugar. You know. For Sunday breakfast I had a pancake with my egg and bacon meal. I shared the bacon with Xavier, and I gave a piece of the pancake to Violet. So . I didn't eat my whole breakfast but I did have the breakfast I like best. I skipped lunch.

However, my control of time is getting better and better. With the new control of time, has come a lifting of the tamsic fog that used to slow me down. Even though I am still not back energy wise . . . I am awake. Hum . . It's like the title of my old gyn's book, "Awake, Aware and Participating." That's how I feel.

I was very tired during the meditation class. I slid into meditation myself and felt very, very peaceful. I read a quote by Camus where he says that in the winter of life we all have an eternal summer with in-- that is what all the great saints of all the great traditions say --the eternal light lives within.

Then Luke and I took our conversation ride. We talked about his work shedule and how he needs to shedule himself with respect so that he doesn't get so completely exhausted. We're also talking about the sabbatical. It will be a first for Luke, time wise. More on this later.

We spent a little time in the 1/2 price bookstore. Luke got me a wonderful book on Hindu Temples and I got some treasures of my own.
