• Meditation
  practice begins by sitting down and assuming your seat cross-legged on
  the ground. You begin to feel that by simply being on the spot, your
  life can become workable and even wonderful. You realize that you are
  capable of sitting like a king or queen on a throne. The regalness of
  that situation shows you the... dignity that comes from being still and
  simple.

• Poor human nature, what horrible crimes have been committed in thy name!

She kissed him on either cheek, near the small lobe of his ear. 'I love your ears, and I love'-she paused as she kissed him gently on the lips-'every single one of your ridiculous lies.' The king opened his eyes and smiled at the queen in a companionship that was as unassailable as it was unfathomable.
