2024

January: Intercession!

Meditate, take long walks, meditate, breathe, read those novels you have kept on the shelf too long, write a novel (or at least an essay?), learn some etudes, try a new recipe, write some poems, breathe, pet the dog, practice maitri, go shopping, breathe, meditate. And what about Edward Gibbon?
