I have had a two-hour documentary called "The Buddha" on my DVR since April... I've watched it a few times and am watching it again now. It's beautifully done and there is this one young monk that makes me smile every time he shares his thoughts... He's lovely, joyous, poetic and concise.
My body is getting ready to bleed. I don't see the point of it. Evolve, uterus. No cushy lining needed. Thanks.
My dream house is for sale. For 175K. Which is so much and yet so much less than I ever expected it would sell for... I wish I was even in the parking lot of the ballpark of being financially ready for a house. This house is the old school building in the town I grew up in. Built in 1928. Oh, hell: http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/A17F
I absolutely love that it still says "ROCKDALE SCHOOL" on the front of it. I wish that school was operating when I went to school, that would have saved us a bus ride or two, TamiBee!

"The mind is as restless as a monkey, the Buddha taught. Who you are, what you think of as yourself, is constantly changing. Like a river, endlessly flowing; one thing today, another tomorrow. There's water in a river, then there's water in a glass, and then the water is back in the air, then it's back in the river. The water's there, but what is it? That's a way to think about the self in Buddhism; one moment you're angry, the next moment you're laughing- Who are you? A seed becomes a plant. Wisps of grass are spun into a rope, a trickling stream becomes a river. The self comes and the self goes..."
God bless PBS.
