in the twilight of my eternal wanderings, i've learned a sacred procedure known to few: the art of meditation, a technique that allows even the most troubled souls to sidestep the chaos of the modern age. it is not restrained by the preexpenditures of time or treasure; it is a practice both simple and profound, accessible to all willing to embrace its teachings. meditation can restore one to the beginning, to that pristine state of mind before the world imposed its myriad restrictions. it teaches us that true freedom is not found in the external, but within the hidden chambers of the heart, accessible to all who dare to seek it.
