I'm working on it. Not exactly the kind of thing about which one can say,
"Oh, stop worrying. It'll never happen." Y'know?

The Stephen Levine book is making me nuts, though. It's hard to read
someone's probably very good ideas on living a fully-realised and fulfilled
life when they write like he does: sweepingly philosophic and almost
dreamlike. Lots of references to "soft-belly meditation" and "soft-belly
breathing" until I'm imagining gutting something. So, obviously, it's not
quite getting through to me yet.

Or maybe it's just a Andreas Vollenweider book to a (at the moment) VNV
mind.
