Thanks! Will check out your suggestions for myself as well. I reach this point periodically . . . at which point I alter my practices. Interesting, vegans awake in the woo. Just goes to show that people’s slants can run in different directions, even within the same person. I imagine a person as the intersection of several planes, which don’t interact internally. Or do they? I always say to those with whom I’m in some kind of fraught relationship due to the incessant programming, “hey, let’s just stay with what we have in common.” Thought of a new one today: When people say, “Have you got the vax yet?” how about just responding “Leave off the ‘yet.’ That makes it a real question. Now, would you like me to answer it?”
