Left Page:
"These were my impressions.
Still:
They were there to care for me when I didn't know what was going on.
They were correct in diagnosis.
I do not know what else was going on. I can never have the full picture. Just limited point of view.
The mantram was there. I don't recall feeling fear, so much as the feeling that something was off - and (with my experience of the vertico) it might be life threatening.
WHAT DID I LEARN?"
