Welcome to the Nexus, The_Shaman:d

Certainly, the afterglow is a blessed feeling and Im glad you have tasted it.When you're ready, push on through to the dome and partake of its wonder.

You are so right about the rat-race-it can become a pursuit in and of itself, and distracts from the more rewarding aspects of our existence.

If you have a roof over your head, food in your belly and peace of mind, you have it all!

Enjoy your travels!
