Caught in the downward spiral

It is strange how people can get caught in the downward pull due to occurances and events. There was this strange, harrowed fellow who was hanging around the hostel during dinner tonight. He seemed to want to talk, but when I engaged him he responded in the most dejected and feeble series of shrugs and sways. It was clear that he was in a very dark place and the only person who could really pull him out of it was himself, although he seemed too far down the spiral to realise this fact. I sincerely hope that he works out whatever needs to be worked out, but then again it is all apart of the grand cosmic dance -- nothing is reallly out of order, even though at times it appears so to us, as that appearance is within the order of things as well.

"It's all in the mind ya know" and ultimaely we are more powerful than we can imagine, but relaise this we need to surrender all control first.

Ok, time for bed...
