"I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, so much disillusionment and sorrow... But it was right that it should be so; my eyes and heart acclaim it. I had to experience despair, I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace, to hear Om again, to sleep deeply again and to awaken refreshed again. I had to become a fool again in order to find Atman in myself.... Whither will my path yet lead me? This path is stupid, it goes in spirals, perhaps in circles, but whichever way it goes, I will follow it."
-Siddhartha, Herman Hesse

I purposely came to your blog just now in order to chastise you for not updating in forever, and what did you do? Added a new entry just to prove me wrong.
However, given that this is only a quotation, I will still chastise you for not updating with original material lately.
Love you!!
