But whatever it is that allows us to forget our innocence it's all dark swirling dreams of the past. If we could always stop when that "guilt" wants to surface, it's better I'm sure to look at and say "who are you?", or else just love the guilt to death. I'm so delighted by the hundreds and hundred of birthday greetings, AND if "every atom is Buddha" your birthless and deathless. maryann moon Oh, Ivan, I understand what you say when you sometimes feel “guilty”. But whatever it is that
allows us to forget our innocence it’s all dark swirling

the guilt to death.

I’m so delighted by the hundreds and hundred of
birthday greetings, AND if “every atom is Buddha”
your birthless and deathless.
