I keep hearing about these man buns that the hipsters have added to their beards……I can not imagine anyone under fifty realizing what we older gentlemen went through fifty years ago…what a calamity it was to our elders….now we are the elders and all I can do is give a big ho-hum to the youngsters in the Super Mall of America that was once known as Manhattan…strutting there stuff to a digitally enhanced Google-ly derived same old story…am I forgetting Compassion?…Probably……everyone must Wang Chung their lives however they see fit…..most of us hippies were only copying the pioneers in the Haight and East Village……I mean..what can I say…I arrived in the Haight in the Summer of Love from Oklahoma because I read the news one day, oh boy…..I consider myself lucky to have been born in that era……and these kids are so lucky today to have their imaginations enhanced by keyboards pushing around some x's and o's……we are all both sides of the same coin……

Our Beloved Sueño Is So Strong…
…it has been awhile since my last blog posting……the world is still turning…here in our household we are holding the space for our most Beloved Cat Sueño who is overrun with cancer. This is such a hard lesson for me…to be present with him and watch him decay….he still purrs and cuddles but does not go outdoors anymore….our poor friend is skin and bones…and there are lots of tears on my part…he is eating…but there is nothing we can do but try and make it comfortable for him….he has brought us such joy in this life…his fierce playfulness has been his Hallmark…we have been blessed with his energy…Ah Impermanence….such a huge lesson….May he be free of Suffering…may he be at Peace……may he know his True Nature….
