TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Been brutally reminded that I'm defenceless when "raw nerves" are trod on! However, at least I know what to do. Withdraw to "the cave", take time out, quiet the mind, contemplate.

TODAY'S THOUGHT
Human hope, the belief that something better is round the corner, relentlessly wears down every evil.
