One of two things is probable. One, Diana managed to become a ghost immortal. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is entirely up for debate. The other is that Winn was lying out of politeness, also entirely possible. 🙂

Yes, there’s a chance he did the whole corpse switching thing, but I don’t think that he knew the appropriate…[Read more]

When an archer is shooting for nothing
He has all his skill.
If he shoots for a brass buckle
He is already nervous.
If he shoots for a prize of gold
He goes blind
Or sees two targets – He is out of his mind!
His skill has not changed.
But the prize divides him.
He cares.
He thinks more of winning
Than of shooting –

But how can oxygen on one hand be so bad for you and also so good for you?

The same way that a little fire keeps you warm but a lot of fire burns down your house. 😉 I suspect you’d benefit from an understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 🙂

I’m beginning to think that you’ve been posessed by the spirit of one of those long-dead external alchemists who poisoned himself swallowing cinnabar. 🙂

Putting all your time and energy into something that is destroyed the next day is both very educational and very painful. I suspect that that was the original idea behind Zen rock gardens.

You said your daughter has been very emotional lately and unable to go to school? Might this be related to the move? Many children don’t take moving well, as they are forced to start over again in a new place without friends.

Most Americans are Wood types and Fire types, while most Chinese are Metal types and Earth types.

Chronic fatigue and eating troubles? I’m not aure, but if you combine that with HT practices there’s a good chance you’ll end of with some sort of yin deficiency.
