Why is it impossible to find a portrait of the...
I’ve never considered myself buddhist but things lately have convinced me otherwise. While the practice of buddhism has morphed over time like a spiritual game of telephone, the more I’ve prodded into the Dharma, the more that has fallen away.
First it was about understanding buddhism as a reaction to hinduism but still set in the hindu worldview. Then it followed that buddhists are...
Fucking Jackets
Me: Why does everything have to be turned into a lesson? I had my winter jacket for 8 years and then some drunk wench swiped it from the bar. Joke's on her though; it's riddled with fleas and heroin.

may begin the first step of a thousand long miles.
Crossing the ocean of awareness
in leaps, bounds, and babysteps,
