And the future is not yet here.
By looking deeply at things just as they are,
In this moment, here and now,

WHEN ONE MIGHT BE CALLED AN OLD MAN
One day there was a nice lady came to pay a visit to the d.o.m. and asked:

-When might one be called an old man?
The dom replied:
-One might be called an old man by his fulfillment inside and not by
the number of years piled on his back or borne in his head and mind.

the d.o.m. 08/27/03
