Wasteland

Saw this at Indiescreen in the neighborhood
Directed by Vik Muniz
My usual suspects/movie buddies were working
so I went with Mom...who actually loved it!
That, ladies & gentlemen, is evidence, this is a great crowd-pleaser movie.

Please go, you will laugh and cray and most importantly, change your mind
(check screenings in website, next playing in MoMA 12/29)

today was a 4-socks day
2 on each foot
Yesterday I wore only 1 pair
my toes were not happy

汝窯 / Ru Ware, listening to Brice Marden

Listening to Brice Marden interview on wnyc
talking about his love of Ru ware (汝窯)
this photo with interesting caption came from flickr

The blue-green color of Ru ware glaze
(which contains amber)
is meant to mimic
"where clouds break and sky clears after rain"
「雨過天晴雲破處」

Tumbleweed!

Tumbled all the way from
Kansas
to
Brooklyn
on Thanksgiving!!!
Thank you E and E's Dad...

Silent Illumination

My first time volunteering in the kitchen during a retreat
Was eventful and fun
Save that I had difficulty staying on my feet
because of a very painful & acute condition

Without going into personal details
It would suffice to advise everyone
DRINK WATER!!!
not tea, not juice, not soup, not soda, not even a little slice of lemon
sorry, those beverages are not water to our bodies

*~Basta!
Let's admire the pumpkin
and [what how I visualize]
