Experience

[buboe_the_rat]

"Experience has no meaning, except for the meaning that you give it. You are going to make a story up in your head about your experience, so rather than making up a bad one, make up one where you are strong, smart and resourceful. It still has no meaning, but at least it's a better story."

--Carlos Casteneda's Don Juan

No, I've read _Tales of Power_ and _Journey to Ixtlan_. That's a long time ago though. I don't remember a word, except for the image of a tile floor being laid by an old woman. Don Juan and Don Genaro each talking into one of your ears, saying a different thing so you feel split down the middle. Yeah, everything is energy. I'm not much into meditation. Other types of energy stuff...when I get the time. Why do you ask?
