Coming of Age in the Aquarian

Out, Out Damned Canker

Journal Entry Date: 15 Sept 2004

Thought for the Day: "What do you think is better: to seek for a partner, or to seek for the Self?" --Buddhacarita (Crosweller, Buddhist Wisdom Daily Reflections, p.270)

Thanks to Kit the cat for her fine company.

Brought to eye/mind today: Termination dust on the mountains (Alaska-speak: first snow of the winter) is staying this time.

Journal:

• During meditation:
  >Heard neighbor outside raging at a dog for peeing on their tree. Then she got in her truck, peeled out, and her tires screeched at every corner.
  >Remembered a conversation with a new acquaintance, met at First Friday last, about the Buddhist concept of cankers and extinguishing them by playing the desire out. (My interpretation; I'm not a Buddhist.) Before remembering the conversation, it seemed I dreamed it.
  >MasterMind visualization: a bursting, loving, shining energy overflowing heart, breaking boundaries, and flooding the Earth.
• Watching CSI Miami, got a taste of CSI New York.
