Don’t go back to sleep.

Jalal Ad-din Rumi

Good one, Joel. That one has my mind reeling with implications. I refer the "awakening" to enlightenment or knowledge of some sort. I have had many personal moments of being "glad to be awake" and other times when I would rather not have "been awake".

For some reason, this post made me think of the Nazi war crimes, and Mengele's "medical experiments" in particular.

*shiver*

thought that was a quote from 'Nightmare on elm Street'? oh wait...you meant something deeper...

That was the last day of my Daily Zen Calendar. I don't hav one for 2006 so for now I don't forsee any new entries for now, unless somebody else buys the calendar.

I know it died off during the second half of the year, but I would like to take a small moment to thank everybody who contributed to the threads throughout the year. Wisecrackers, thoughtful commenters, and silent readers, you are all appreciated and I thank you so much for everything.
