I am back...still DBinging...

Yes Pink. There is nothing better than a functioning family unit. I will just never understand divorce.

It's like war. Why do we do this to each other?

I'll tell you a funny story. I was living with two roommates when I was 18. My first apartment out of my parent's house. I didn't go to college...I was playing pool 12 hours a day. By night I was experimenting with LSD, practicing yoga, listening to Beatles music, journaling my dreams, meditating, reading sci-fi and philosophy and religious texts, etc. I digress, but MAN what a great year of my life!

Anyway, I got into a fight with one of my roommates. We didn't talk for like a month. I don't remember what it was about. That's kind of the point. One night I dropped some acid and I was just tranced out in the living room. He stormed through and went into his bedroom and shut the door.

I was so spaced. I was aware of the negative energy. I was conscious of the fact that there was some reason why we weren't talking. But I just couldn't conceptualize why. It's like in my state of mind there just wasn't any reason why we shouldn't be on good terms. I knocked on his door. He told me to go away. I didn't. I still vaguely remember his grumpy look when he answered the door. But it was almost like the higher spiritual part of me addressed the spiritual part of him and just said I'm sorry, I don't even understand what I screwed up, but I want to make this right. I don't remember the words, and I was probably borderline incoherent...but somehow when I came to the next day we were best friends again.

I am NOT endorsing LSD as a DB method by the way. I am just having a moment of silence for the human condition. I heard the story of Adam and Eve when I was a kid. Now I really see that we truly had the garden of eden for the taking and we took it for granted and got ourselves thrown out. None of what we do makes sense, except that somehow it's the best we can do.

I guess we just try to make a few positive changes here and there, and enjoy the views in between the destruction we bring upon ourselves. Add a dark sense of humor and a few friends on a divorce forum and pretty soon it's all good...

Goodnight.
