real realness
Last night we went to a tiki party. We wore Hawaiian shirts we bought at the thrift store. We stayed for a long time and talked to many people. We did great. It was at the house of the person whose yards we’re redoing. People complimented our work. My friend K laughed a good, true… Read More »

my day in a blogpost
Today I shoveled wheelbarrows full of mulch. I also wrote a letter and drank tea and ate vegan Ethiopian food, which was delicious. I met a new person. And I was given a cute little succulent to keep on the front porch. I talked on the phone. And I had oatmeal for breakfast with slivered… Read More »

We ate pretend ice cream and real ice cream earlier. Bought bread. This flax seed spouted wheat bread is pretty good. And that’s what… Read More »

sad zombie garden gnome
Yesterday we were in the garden in the evening–or maybe it was the day before–and the gardener of the neighboring plot was there tending his garden. I was watering. I saw him harvesting tomatillos, and I asked him, “What do you like to do with your tomatillos?” He said he bought the plant on a… Read More »
Lately Ming and I have been talking about a sacred wish fulfilling cow called Kamadhenu. Please click the link below to see a beautiful picture. I especially like the way the cow is lactating on the shiva lingam. http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/moynihan/sac/Smith_Poster_Archive_-_Kamadhenu/ There’s a story that’s important to me that I first heard from my swami.
