Hey Dear Jack:

I thought you were 52 or so. Well, I am 54 so three years younger than you. Interesting, a short while ago I left a comment on your Carl Jung post where I wrote that in my experience people do not individuate with age, so your 17 comment is understandable to me. My greatest moments of hope are when I am five. And the whole “beginner’s mind” concept is about seeing things as if for the first time, that is without the distorted thinking and believing- ahhh- what a freeing experience that would be, wouldn’t it, if you saw things the way you saw them when you were… 7? 5? (I don’t know when you got your most significant dose of distortions)
