PATIENCE

Lost Cap

I lost my cap last week.
It was black with an or-
ange "x." It me made
think of the X the
Texas prison gangs
wore on their shirts indic-
ating where they were 2
B shot if they run off. S-
ince I work with
my brain I thought I
should be shot in the
head [if I run off]. I'm not sure if
losing the hat is a less-
on 2 teach me to detach
or if the hat is pursuing
its buddha nature.

Oh where oh where did my hat go?

. . . standing s till.

I didn't know if I
was coming or
going
until I
stood st ill.

This isn't really . . .

This isn't really happen-
ing to me.

I don't know . . .

I don't know if you are
aware . . .

Help!

Help!

In Buddhism we help people by being compassionate and giving them strength to help themselves.

Perfection . . . Almost

Each one of us is per-
fect the way we are

and . . . we can use
a little help.
