Corpse Pose sounds like no big deal, right? Then what’s so difficult about this spiritualized snooze? Forget about getting your feet behind your head. Just try lying still for ten minutes. With nothing left to do, you’re finally forced to come face to face with yourself.

Never invest so much in anyone romantically that you lose your head. The Buddha of casual sex, I remain detached at all costs.
