After my first knee injury, when I was 15, I started meditation and relaxation exercises as part of rehab. If I hadn't - I'm not sure I would have made it through my late teens and early twenties.

During the meanderings of my wanderbout consciousness on this rotating rock – I developed a "being person" spam filter. But? There are ways around it. Obviously. Omnipotence and all that. Intruding upon my celestial meditation under an Aurora with an "Amber Alert" ... was a new one.
