Dog Barking Horse



The dog next door has been
barking all evening. I wonder
why it doesn't realize that his
complaining will just make it
horse.

Dog turning horse

You
might not
believe this
but it just
stopped.

No Art Today



I don't have time for
art today. Took apart a
stubborn table, went 2
nice party, made dinner, &
carried lots of boxes down
the stairs. Oh, and had 2
shave with a razor because
neither of my electric razor
s would work.

I'm going to fly today

don't crash, as it would
delay his proceedings.

Bad Weather



So sometimes we say "bad weather" just meaning that it was not as good as yesterday. This is "bad weather" in the relative sense. We compare two things and make a judgment based on the contrast between the two. On the other hand, I tried to imagine "bad weather" in the absolute sense. It might be the raining of arrows, as happened to Buddha (in his mind) the night of his enlightenment. Luckily he put up a Buddha shield and the arrows turned to flowers. If he hadn't done that, he would have experience truly "bad weather."

Go Figure



Go figure. I sold a box of
books for $19 to the 1/2
price bookstore. So I took
a second box of better
books (I was hooked) and
only got $4!!!

Buddhism and Intimacy



You can't
be far
away

&
still have
intimacy.

Before a Buddhist talk this am we were asked to move closer to the front of the room. Then the priest said that intimacy is important to Buddhism. Here's an excellent article "The Intimacy of Engaging with Suffering" by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel (http://tinyurl.com/98f6xq) which explains the importance of intimacy.

Totally Lost



Some haven't found their
keyhole. They have lots
to learn.

Clueless in Texas. The sun
(sic) as a
spiderweb.

Unfortunately, for these
folks, school may not
be the right answer.

Wrong Key



Sometimes we use some-
one else's key because
we can't find our own. It
doesn't fit right & som-

Lost Key



Some toys would be
ok except they have
lost their keys. So
they just stand there
praying that someone
or something will turn
them on.
