Terence McKenna Quotes

We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.

Terence McKenna

Meanwhile it's got stormy, the tattered fog even thicker, chasing across my path. Three people are sitting in a glassy tourist cafe between clouds and clouds, protected by glass from all sides.
