Hi X,

Re: "they WERE!"

I am glad..I knew they would be.. :)..

And on to Taiku, besides what you said, ALL are in such good mental and physical shape.. What a reward for them.. And they know it by exuding all that positive energy..
It takes both, the mental, mind.. housed, sheltered by the temple, the body..

And so today, awakened by Washo, at his and my late time of 7:00 am, I got up to the most beautiful morn on the east side of Mount Rose.. It was so beautiful.. Gardening in the early morning sun began early..

And after that we went to town to get some needed?stuff.. Why does a person need extra stuff ? I don't know.. We think we do.. We convince ourselves we do.. So we get it.. Human fraility, I know.. And WE control OUR consumption SO much..

BTW, above the 500 bucks we spent on some stuff..(a small extra deep freeze and some tools for me from Sears), we wern't too bad, <g>, I guess.. I don't know.. But then again, no music CDs for me today.. <g> That is a need, I think, <vbg>..

But then some more plants, shrubs and wine.. Needs, NOT wants. <g>

And so coming home, as we listen to the Australian Bush Band, I thought about US, where we are, where we are going.. Do WE KNOW ?, what are needs are? Versus OUR Wants,

Versus the REST of the People on the Planet? I don't think so..

All we need?, I guess, is Costco, Trader Joes, Sears, Cost Plus World Markets, Macys, and not but not least Raley's ..

And that is such a long list TO the MOST of the world... We are so fortunate.. But I do not WANT, I can not stand, I willl not allow our fortunality to impinge on the REST of the world..

Just CARING on,

m
