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?

Perfection . . . Almost
Each one of us is per-
fect the way we are
and . . . we can use
a little help.
Click here for a koan from Shunryu Suzuri about this apparent contradiction.

. . . the rope!
Now don't forget the rope!
Hemlock Society Manual
At the doctor's office today I overheard one elderly woman say to another, "Now don't forget the rope." I imagined the last "nag" a wife might give a husband as he announced his intention to go to another world (suicide is on my mind since I have just been given some warm clothes from a couple who shared a house with someone who decided to leave planet Earth).
And then there is the tragedy of any election—that almost half the country doesn't get what it wanted.

Nandina Invasion
The plant was so in-
vasive it grew ever-
ywhere.
(We have been digging out nandina plants from our new garden. Actually burned out my Sawzall cutting roots and dirt.)

Pregnant Couple at Doctor's Office
Newsw
k
They (mother and child) held a magazine in front of
her face as they waited for
his (the child's) coming out party.
Have you noticed how everyone
(other women)
asks a pregnant
woman "how r u doing?" in a very
compassionate tone?
What about the kid? How's he
doing, wading in darkness
like there was no tomorrow?
