as if-
they're thinking of someone.”

No hesitation this time, he stepped into her cell and walked up to her. She put the plate on the floor and he ate the chicken- pulled the drumstick right onto the floor- then lapped up the gravy. Skipped the butter beans. She smiled through it all, then wiped the floor clean with tissue.
He jumped on her bed, and a sweet sleep wrapped them together.”

The fact that he hasn't died in the present gives us a dire opportunity.”

“Do not keep company with or befriend a person who has degenerated his discipline or samayas for even a single moment.
If when wearing white robes you go to an oily swamp, the black stuff will surely discolor the white. Similarly, even though your own samayas are pure you will surely still be defiled by the broken samayas of others. If your own samayas are not pure, it is like black not being tainted by black. So be very careful.
It is there essential not to associate with evil people or with bad company who have lost their vows.
In any case, one should take care not to be ashamed of oneself.”
