"Don't you notice that there are particular moments when you are naturally moved to introspection? Work with them gently, for these are the moment when you can go through a powerful experience and your whole worldview can change quickly."— Sogyal Rinpoche, Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, pp. 32-33

C says, in the morning: "Mom, why is there a chair here??? [in front of family computer] Have you been sneaking on the internet when no one’s looking?”
Later, when he wants to find the building instructions that came with his knex, and they’ve disappeared, I suggest we might be able to download them from their web site. He got all excited when he realized that I could tell him how to get there and it wouldn’t be "cheating".
C also said the other night it’s “nicer” without me on the internet. I tried to get him to give me details, and all he would share is that I’m not sitting down at the computer every single day of my life.
