Carrie; burnt plenty, haven’t we? — Language, language! Our attention is mostly drawn to bridges leading to potential gain, or safety from potential worldly loss. Outer bridges, all; these exist in the changeable world, and the proverbial ones we’re ostensibly going to burn are relationships with people, especially bosses. That’s the larger construct. No one, however…

One Prayer. — Aum From ignorance, lead me to truth. From darkness, lead me to light. From death, lead me to immortality. Aum, peace, peace, peace.
