Day 4 and the spell was broken--I lay down this afternoon for a rest/nap and slept the day away. Had three days though without a daytime rest/nap. And, the nap today left me feeling really rested. Will continue to follow the flow and see where it's going.

Did finish reading the Miracle in the Andes book yesterday (about 300 pages). It is full of wisdom distilled over a period of time regarding an heroic and tragic event. It speaks to the awesome power of the human spirit and the necessity of having that spirit grounded in a source of higher power. It will be a classic tale of perseverance and bravery in the face of insurmountable obstacles.

After finishing that book with its author's reflections on death and life, the Rigpa site had this daily glimpse--

As a Tibetan saying goes: "Tomorrow or the next life - which comes first, we never know."

So after the vicarious victories mentioned in the book here I am once again looking in my mirror. What is it that I will do? How do I proceed? What is my path out of this wilderness that I'm trekking through? The book brought forth many questions for me to ponder--perhaps some that made me want to sleep! Aye, there's the rub!
