I noticed several things happening during that moment. After we all left the room, the engagement continued as I walked to my room. There were two events going on inside me, one was the thinking about this process that was taking place, the other was the process itself happening. I saw the Circle pals running around the house with excitement. Observed that my estate was quite different…
