And so it's been another week, and not every week I many thoughts to share.
It's been another week in which I had to try to come to terms with the mortality of life. Had a session with a client, we were supposed to talk about something and it turns out that a close friend of his died between e last time we met and now. And my session plan flew out of the window, and became a grief counseling session. And a nav brother is also now in hospital, at one point grappling with mortality.

Just spoke with a very sharp friend on MSN. We haven't chatted face to face in about a year plus, and yesterday was the first time.
She is sharp. She shared that after a year, she says that she feels I've developed an 'aura of indulgence'. Haaa. That's a funny term, I've never thought that way. And I wondered what it is.
She said it's almost like.. it feels like I have seen so much of human life, I don't have a need to constantly be looking out for others' needs. But that I could just look out for myself, not feeling that I always needed to self-sacrifice, material or immaterial pleasures, or alone time.
Do you guys feel that way about me too?

I've got a new fad. I collect classic books and try to read them. You know, those books that you can keep for life. Edmond just bought 'Man's Search for Meaning' by Viktor Frankl for me.
I just got Confessions by Augustine, who wrote in Latin in the 4th century. He's possibly the wisest man in the history of the Church, ranking alongside Calvin and Solomon. To be honest, I was quite disappointed with the response of some peeps who I read a passage of his writing to.
Sometime ago, was reading a couple of wonderful books by Kubler-Ross.
And now I'm becoming a bigger fan of U2. I want to attend one of their concerts someday.
