I cannot imagine all the things we get troubled about in life
matters. On a regular basis spent thinking about the numerous things that we experience every single and
every moment has become undoubtedly necessary, as no other woman is going to deal with
your life for any of us. I feel that men and women need to be more grounded.
Research is excellent, however, a lot of whatever you might know about is so abstract.
Having a cup of tea is a zen activity that brings
one back again to the present second. We must become more in the here
and today, without being overwhelmed by existence and the drama we
encounter every day.
