I had to laugh. The front row thing. I have from a young age always sat up the back of the bus, I’m the same at meetings I go to. I don’t like people looking at the back of me. Maybe a protective thing. The laugh came because of the grove meditation. I enter the grove from the west. I always, always, find myself standing or sitting next to the entrance. I thought maybe because I’m new, or guarding it. But the case might be that I’m preparing to bolt 🤣 That’s unlikely though.
