I'm taking this book real slow. There's so much there. I go back and re-read. I pause, close my eyes and really reflect on - and feel - what I just read. I'm still in "Shattering" chapter, too.

Personally, I am at a later stage stage - much later - than Shattering at this point, too. Still, it is eye-opening to review my post-bomb life (and FOO life) in light of this book and the author's many years of insight. Gonna take my time with this one. This one's work and holds the promise of some real insight and change

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
