The cals shut The heavy scent of patchouli fillsmy sensitive nose down This must be where Vikram spent most of the past day Can I do this? Can I try and cals I feel for Vivian with a little peaceful chanting and meditation?
A snort escapes me before I reach the eternal flame positioned on the far side of the room Centuries of monks and entire nations do this-it can&039;t be too hard, right?
I settle cross-legged at the edge of the exerciselick of fire The view out the s of the snowy grotto enhances the feeling of isolation amidst the bustle of the hotel I search in vain for some posted directions or such; Vivian has a penchant for writing exact instructions down for every piece of equip and assu has so e of Vivian fillsreen forest leaps front and center, the h h the woods withThe stray hint of a buck, thethe trails The sheer joy of running full tilt into a setting sun with the knowledge we have all night ahead of us, wraps around my heart and elevates it from the stress of this week
