"You can out-distance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you."
-Rwandan Proverb

Tired of Haiku, She Moves On To Tanka...

Fingers worn ragged,
restless and unsatisfied
can't get enought TEXT...
Crazed, she raises her white flag,
and feigns R e n u n c i a t i o n !

iBuddha?

"Oh Yes, Enlightened One...share all your music files...skip the Nirvana!"

Do you think less of me now that you know I don't want any Nirvana on my shuffle? I just never got "in" to that band like everyone else did in College. (Now, give me some FooFighters...)

Alas, my little makeshift shrine keeps me in good company. This jade Buddha came all the way from China via my dear friend Michele. The iPodshuffles came all the way from China too...via iCoolcapitalism.

Maybe I should paint my Buddha white and stick an apple logo on its fanny? My guess is that doing that wouldn't help me a bit spiritually, but OMG the music sure does...
