Welcome to The Diner!

Sit at the counter of our virtual diner and let us serve you a slice of mental pie! It’ll go good with a cup of coffee, then you get your refreshed self back to the fray with a few new beautiful thoughts to think.

* What does it mean to be excessively rational? Why might that be a problem sometimes?

* Take time to notice where your thoughts are your ultimate authority when perhaps they ought not to be. Is this a problem? Is it sometimes ok?
