In which there’s a chant. aum, aum my salutations to that guru who revealed to me that truth which is unfragmented, infinite, timeless divinity and which pervades the entire universe, moveable or immovable my salutations to that reverential teacher who, by applying the divine collyrium of self-knowledge into my eyes removed the cataract of ignorance […]
In which I had an epiphany about interconnectedness while drinking a dark mocha latte breve. Was just over at the coffee shop with a pile of stuff in front of me. This pile of stuff: That’s a fountain pen, traveler’s notebook, my prescription glasses, a mason jar lid and ring, an instant camera and nylon/pseudo-leather […]
In which there’s a repost, because I liked what I wrote. My dad, no idiot, who has told me about his own experiences of the ineffable (while yet confusing “religion” with idiot American Christianity and considering himself an atheist), posted this on Facebook: This was my reply: Seriously, though, who believes in a God as […]
In which there’s travel! And I repeat myself! Going to see Amma in D.C. this weekend! Jai Ma! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I think this is my twentieth year in a row going to see Her, which is astonishing and weird. Staying in a Marriott. My man decided not to come […]

In which there’s a blog post! Because I still blog! Occasionally! Fat: On a diet now, again, again-again, started weekend before last. Basically a combo of calorie-counting and slow carb. Haven’t had any pasta or baguette, pizza or flour tortillas, but have had a couple of potatoes. Mashed last weekend, and roasted tonight. They do […]
In which there’s travel! We went to New Hampshire! In a plane! We stayed in a hotel! This was the view! I wrote about it in my traveler’s notebook! Amma’s programs were in another hotel, so I had to walk back and forth twice a day! My Google Fit app told me I walked over […]
In which I’m not Bill Gates, but I have a book list, too! I’ve finally started Cloud Atlas. I bought it months and months ago and it’s just been sitting five screens deep on my Kindle Paperwhite: It is absolutely goddamned brilliant. No question. A Calamitous Chinese Killing is still in the pile. Inspector Singh […]
In which I write about a toy. A doll. A temple idol, a spiritual tool. I’ve had an Amma doll for a long time, and over the years I’ve collected all the outfits and extras, and I keep it all in an old wicker picnic-style basket. I can dress her in her whites, or as […]
In which I feel both uplifted and awkward. Once in awhile, I fall accidentally into a religious conversation with a devout Christian about the experience of the practice of religion. And she says stuff, and I say stuff, and she’s pleased with my insight and depth of understanding, and we’re really grooving and having a […]
In which there was a long-ass road trip for both of us, some hotel lounging for him, and some much-needed spiritual renewal for me. Tuesday we slept in and then packed and drove to St. Charles, IL. It took forever, or about six hours. Checked into our hotel and slept. I was so excited to […]
