DÉJA VU_words of Chief Seattle 1854, Einstein 1950, Bohm 1980, still relevant 2010

30 November: course correction

“… The path of my life now is one that I had dreamt about, but hadn’t the courage to embark upon before. Interesting & good how the “be careful what you (dream) wish for” comes about.
