i had my spine x-ray'd the other day.
i can't wait to see what it looks like! i know it's all jacked up.
the x-ray tech was a rather unusual fellow.
it was difficult to hear anything he said cuz he sorta mumbled and his words kind of all blurred into eachother. it's hard to describe. there was just a delayed reaction to everything he said, cuz i had to wait a second for my mind to process what he was saying.
"accumulations of wealth and riches can be lost,
Those with fame and high status can fall,
Those who are together may be scattered,
Those who are born must die"
The well-governed will fall into chaos,
The world once formed faces destruction;
Of the pleasures and certainties of life,
None can be relied upon
--The Way to Buddhahood
yesterday when i was eating lunch, i sat across from an old man who would have been otherwise unremarkable but for the green, almost aqua colored eyes which exactly matched the sweater he was wearing. he asked me if i was having a good day so far and i said yes, because i really was.
i've spent much of my life, especially the past two years, isolated from other people... but now i really am becoming involved in a community of people and it is good for me.
a week or so ago, i saw a three month old infant with painted red nails. ew.
i've been reading A Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and it is quite a bit better than i'd expected.
