Love is Selfish

Love may have selfish origins, but it can't survive if there's no object.  If the object is the self, then it's like (dare I use this trite analogy) a fire without air.. it'll suffocate.

Food

Street Food

Since I'm still technically living out of a backpack, I really haven't settled down yet.  When I was on the road, I kept saying that I'll cook more when I have a place of my own .. since that schedule as been pushed back a

(Week)Endings and Begins

And like tired sadhus under the bodhi tree, we scrambled passed past present future to that jibber-jabber, frightening, and gorgeous hollow where understanding came through silence and strings became waves...

Paternicalus Loonicus

My dad must have the patience of an elephant. He is the sous chef, the maid service, and the all-purpose handyman and lifter of heavy objects for mom.  Whether he's used to the torrent of tasks or he's actually happy with the role of Mom's Little Helper, I don't know..
