An Illustrated Guide

8/1/2022 to life's entanglements

Aug 1

I renewed my fishing license — spending time on the boat invokes the hunter-gatherer itch — I felt foolish within moments of setting up the cheap rod and reel I bought

What is it with my particular karma?

I used to place the blame outside myself — still do — but I’m getting better — I came to understand yesterday — that unless you were a Zen geek/nerd/freak the “Not two” reference was confounding

To come directly into harmony with this reality, just simply say when doubts arise, "Not two". In this "not two", nothing is separate, nothing is excluded.

Of all the pandemic pantry pretties, these are the only boxes still stacked high and deep up front on an eye-level shelf. There was always tuna of course, now alongside sardines, several kinds of salmon, kippers, mackerel, and smoked oysters…
