Sometimes Other People Just Say It Better

Just finished reading my dearest Grace's latest journal entry Kindness as medicine (April 6, 2006) Such a poignant post here that I wanted to share it with you, especially since my page has been lingering in the gutter of the mind - or more precisely - the groin.

One part in particular spoke loudly to me and commanded a re-read three whole times:

"Several years ago, when the Dalai Lama was at a conference with other Buddhist teachers, a western teacher brought up the subject of self-hatred. The Dalai Lama did not know what she was talking about. The concept of self-loathing had to be explained to him by the westerners. I think it took quite a bit of explaining before he got it. And it's not like the Dalai Lama is a slow dude."

On another topic, I am currently addicted to the Dobie rub part one - Sunshine remix version of Bjork's I Miss You

Rodney P.:

I had a dream that I was missing you indeed
And if I miss you then you know that I'll be there with speed
I gotta miss the cool vibe for your mind, believe
I've never seen you but I've seen you've got the vibes I need
That's why I miss you, kind of miss you, for my mind
Only for people often miss you but I seek to find
You gotta send me an emotion on the side
To even know when all things must should be in time
Still I miss you

And now for something even more random, this is the view from my patio:
