an earthly touchstone for my life rather than having to measure myself against the entire cosmos.
i come to value them above all else.
I took a gardening job and started paying leo some rence. of course, i had to start making some of my own decisions again,but only small ones. the big decisions, about where my life was going, or how i could inject meaning into it, did not trouble me anymore.
leo became less of master and more of a mentor for me. igrew to view him very fondly. and what surprised me modt was the realisation of how lonely i had been before.
My friend, and leo - my best friend - have helped me to appreciate the small things in life. the most important things. Now that the burden of aimless ambition has faded away, i can work with them to build a quieter purpose in our lives.
