Jan 27

Why is this Buddha smiling? Winter storm Number 6 promises 4-8 inches and wind to follow. Buddha is doing his upper body strength training to get ready to carry his brother if need be.

Buddha has been lackadaisical about the approaching ski trip, not yet packed, casting goofy glances at the weight bench, scoffing at the treadmill. Maybe it's Buddha's turn to be carried this trip. Maybe Buddha better get his butt in gear instead and seal those boots, tote that pulk, lift that pack. NO PULKS ALLOWED, BUDDHA! Just exactly which one of you is the Buddha?

Buddha is in search of the red feather,
a book of poetry in the meditation closet.

  1. Better to be Kanthaka, Buddha's horse, than Siddhartha.
    That is to say, better to suffer physical anguish than mental or spiritual.
    Must one close oneself into a closet to open one's mind?
    Ohmmmm...or rather whineeeeeee....
