Brahmamuhurti (Yogic hour of God…sunset or sunrise) to be even more accurate. during those years i was the manager of the Center For Self Healing in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

through the books, she has looked…(she has a Ph.D in Statistical Analysis or something like that)

to the Himalaya, she has sought.

within the fabric of her life, many Dragons she has fought.
