huh. I really think the way Shawnee describes...I don't SAY it out loud (and I don't think she does, either), but my thoughts tend to run like that. I can read a profound, life-altering book and then be pissed off at some small thing two seconds later. I TRY to grasp the last gasp of serenity...but it always eludes me. Just like that brass bell you're supposed to ring when you get a big tip. I never get a big tip.
