- A crowd of villagers were arguing. They all had different ideas and could not agree about what God looked like, so they went to Lord Buddha and asked, "Which of us is right?". He told them to bring an elephant and 4 blind men.
The villagers did so and without telling them what it was, Lord Buddha told the blind, "Touch this and tell us what it is."
The 1st touched the elephant's side and said, "This is large and flat-this is a wall."
The 2nd put his arm around the elephants leg and said, "This is strong and round-this is a tree trunk."
The 3rd held on the elephant's tail and said, "This is tough and frayed at the end-this is a rope.'
The 4th touched the elephant's ear and said, "This is thin and flimbsy-this is a piece of cloth."
Lord Buddha turned to the citizens and said, "Who is right?"

First day of the new year
We were having lunch. Kids, parents, grandmas, an auntie. Coffee, black-eyed peas. It was nice for a while. Talking and laughing, running around, hugs and love.
She told us how in the hospital, the old man was getting so delirious. He spoke to someone as if she were his wife who had passed away sometime ago; believing one sister to be another; pulling out IVs and tubes from places you really shouldn't. He told the doctors to do everything they could to save him, should something happen. He told all the nurses he was going home. He wanted a glass of wine.
"Well...," I said, "It sounds like he's afraid. Isn't he dying? I mean, it's a process, right?"
She said, "I don't know, I guess so." She did know. She knows a lot about it. She just didn't want to say anything to upset anyone.
I thought someone should be with him. Death is so important. And really, he didn't have many people left who would be there with him. I wondered what he believed.
I mean about death. Wondered what he thought would happen, if he had any beliefs about what would happen after he died. I really wanted to ask. But I didn't want to say anything else to upset anyone.
So, all night I wondered. I imagined a priest or someone like that who goes around hospital deathbeds, saying last prayers, walking through valleys of shadows and what not.
I went to bed, imagining this old man dying. what it was like in that hospital, under restraints, his last request withheld, wishing I could be with him. To hold his hand and tell him not to be afraid. So, I got in my car, drove across town. Walked to his room, sat down beside him and removed the restraints. I picked up his hand and said his name. I told all I knew, gave him some wine, and began chanting...Om Mani Padme Hung...
Om Mani Padme Hung
Om Mani Padme Hung
Om Mani Padme Hung
a hundred or a thousand times, I don't know
Om Mani Padme Hung
Twenty or thirty minutes passed and I fell asleep with nothing but those words and the feeling of him passing on.
I got up in the morning to get ready for work and my sister calls to say he died early in the morning and she would be with grandma for a while.
Ah, good, I thought. I said to her "OK" and took a breath. They would never believe me.1 komentarz 664 dni

Shannon says "Hi."
I'm missing the sub stage's pumping heartbeat, tall trees, infinite stars, and crispy cold.
Tell Jimmy to submit some stuff for a show at the MCAC. I don't think he trusts my words when I say Brother J encouraged me to encourage him.
It's life. It's pain and joy and everything in between. 20 minutes ago I was crying on the phone. 5 minutes ago, I sent you a comment and some luv and felt much better. Hopefully, it won't be over for a long time. In reply to: "Still wondering when this will be over..." by Soul Recycle
You are SOOooooo definitely Kermit.
Tell him it's called "being human"...everyone gets that way. But, he put it into words very well. A little reflection goes a long way.
hi
On a completely unrelated topic, here are some of my thoughts on... why chocolate is brown.
Chocolate is brown because the God/dess who created us (and the color brown) felt that it was unfair to the color to be associated only with...well...you know...poo. So, she made some eyes and hair brown, thinking that people would be so totally turned on by it that brown would have a rad rep. Still, eyes and hair are part of being human, and humans can be "ugly" (like you-know-who BOOBIE!). Then those "ugly" (BOOBIE!) humans would give brown a bad name. So she, in her infinite wisdom, gave the world something that humans adore (except some crazy people OSIAH!) that would give brown a rad rep AND put two unrelated words into perfect harmony: sexy and delicious. That is why chocolate is brown. I love brown and chocolate and you.
outSTANDing... I'm going to wear a giant tiger suit and audition for the flute! Big kitties rock!
miss you guys!
hey hows the life in Merced? I'm coming back sooner than later jeeeeeee
Outstanding idea! I found some can toppers that do 5 or 6 different sized sprays. We should hit the ivy wall on the Civic Center... they shouldn't care. I mean, the ivy will grow back and cover it up... in the winter, we'll have something to look at again.
ya ya sounds good
, happy to get my art there. you def' have persmission!!!
I said, "I have to go home and study for a final... maybe I should have that shot mixed with something." Radioactive Cauliflower said, "Mixed with what?" To which I replied, "What do you suggest?" He said, "Let's get the book and have some fun." I chose ELECTRIC KOOL-AID, and he had fun mixing it. "That's gonna fuck you up," he said... and it did. You should try it.
I love you, too... and so does Bob Marley.
well thanks for the compliments Katey
. I would be honored to have prints made, twould be simply delightful. How are you?
