This is the closest I get to commenting on politics… Mr. President, if I were an American, you’d have just lost my vote…
Random Quote
Here, o bhikkhus, a bhikkhu* gone to the forest, gone to the root of a tree, or gone to an empty dwelling, sits with his legs crossed and body straight, keeping remembrance of the present moment at the fore. Thus he breathes in with remembrance; thus he breathes out with remembrance.

Got this video the other day and I was SHOCKED. A fly is a living being too!
oh… a fly story: 25 years or so back I read the book "kinship with all life" in which the writer told about his communication with a fly. From then on I don't chase flies with a towel out of my house anymore (which aggrevated them and me for half an hour sometimes). Since I read that book, I ask flies friendly to leave. I even tell them that they will find good, yummie dogshit and other lovely stuff out there. It's odd, but (apart from an occasional stubborn one) they leave in less than 5 mins. Weird but true.
