helen had said last night, as we sat and talked in her darkened living room, that while getting acupuncture: “i close my eyes and go to a place of timeless time . . .”

wow! i love it . . .

she’s going to study acupuncture in philly next year, and get certified to practice it and everything. that’s so cool

when i get back to germany next week, i’m finally gonna try it for the first time. i mean, it is free with my public health insurance . . .
