Just got back from going down to Charleston to pick up our Dharma Center teacher and bring him and his niece up here for tonight's teaching. That's 4 hours of interstate truck tag, but having a Tibetan monk meditating in the back seat for part of the trip made me approach it all more calmly, I must say.
So did the lovely lunch on the porch of the house where they live in Charleston, and the very excellent Tibetan food. Stir--fried broccoli, stir-fried daikon, both with little bits of meat and wonderful spices--cardamom in one, I think, and sprinkled with Tibetan pepper (forgot to let them know they could go really spicy for my palate--won't forget next time). Mostly they were arguing in Tibetan, but it was fun to hear the rhythms of the language. And a short thunderstorm watered the flowers while we sat there, followed by steamy sun. Which I love.
Completely unrelated: I was thinking about one of my favorite hexagrams from the I Ching the other day as a good comment on my life at that moment, and then had the added thought of using these as a way to give some shape to my daily entries here. I may stop this very soon, but if it annoys you in the meantime, feel free to skip. This is not the favorite one ("Work on What Has Been Spoiled") but the throw for today:
( Deliverance )
