Celebrate the coming of Spring!

A year ago or so, I was listening to an audiobook and thought I heard “where moss and rust consume”. I just found out it’s “where MOTH and rust consume”

The full quote is Matthew 6:19 –
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal.

Live and learn, right?

Lately, I hear J. Cole’s rework of Paula Abdul’s Straight Up 2 or 3 times a day, but her version works better for this overview of last years iPhone pictures. Love Forever!

Last night I watched Hereafter again, which got me thinking about the Bardo Thodol, which got me thinking about the day the Dalai Lama visited Santa Fe.

At the time I was working the evening shift as an intake specialist for a alcohol/drug addiction hotline. I got home late and usually slept until noon, but found myself lying awake at 7am when the phone rang. A friend had tickets to a teaching by the Dalai Lama at the local Buddhist stupa, did I want to go? Sure.

Lotsa people, had a pretty good seat, but I’d heard this one a thousand times before, so I went for some air.

Taking up the lotus position, I watched the Mercedes and the people. That day I saw more blondes then in the rest of the seven years I lived in Santa Fe. This was the super rich getting on their Enlightenment Chic.
