Sunny. Recharged. Razor edge clarity. All events help define who we are, who we are not, who we want to be. It is important to understand 'the self,' to constantly test one's understanding against the 'cruel radiance' of the day.

This is the necessary work. I have gladly taken up the pilgrimage: to be clear, to seek the true.

This is serious business. The most important business in a life.

Not sure where this pilgrimage will take me. I accept the mystery.

Listening to the 'saddest music of the world,' it is a sad, beauty which drives me to the light.
