the nature of a flower

the nature of a flower is the nature of the universe…

“We can see a cloud. We know that without a cloud there will be no rain and no flower. And if we continue to look we see the compost, the garbage. Without the compost, without the garbage flowers cannot grow. For those of us who know how to look deeply, we can see the garbage in the flower in this very moment; those of us who do not want to meditate can wait just 10 days and see the garbage manifesting. A flower is on her way to the garbage because the nature of a flower is the nature of impermanence.”

a change will do you good

So I changed my car battery, all by myself.
I ran into a little snag, the bolt that the connection post screws into had actually eroded away from the battery itself, which was probably the cause of all my problems… well, at least with getting my car started.

so with some vice grips and brute force, I got it off, got the new battery installed, and had a fairly loud victory cheer. Took too damn long, but even the auto parts store said it was “intensive.” $80, new battery.

ok!

the entire world is OLD and BROKEN

We were watching TV tonight, and I was thinking about this whole worldwide moral-slash-financial crisis. Then we tuned to CBS’s Late-Late show, and on it was Glen Campbell, promoting his Greatest Hits album that debuted on Tuesday.
And then suddenly, it was like bad karaoke.

Because there’s nothing quite like a seventy year old man singing “Rhinestone Cowboy.” Even when that seventy year old man is, in fact, Glen Campbell.

Because there's nothing quite like a seventy year old man singing 'Rhinestone Cowboy.' Even when that seventy year old man is, in fact, Glen Campbell.

Which led me to reach the following conclusion.

The entire world is old and broken

Wikimedia has graciously provided this image of Glen Gampbell.

I think I’ll just stick with the other Campbell, at least that hasn’t changed much in seventy years.
