camels, monkeys and boars

o my!
and..
at least three hundred thousand humanoids..
on pilgrimage..
for the kalachakra..
for circumambulation of the great stupa..
for general mischief making amongst the high holies..

rains have come w/ the typhoon
which lessened the dust...
leaving us all in mud..
now dry again..
dust again..
imagine robed monks, tibetans,
chai wallahs and westerners
all wearing masks to keep
our noses clean..

finding easy breath is not an easy task..
though that is the instruction from the buddha..
on the winds of humanity i am blown about..
contentent is also the instruction..
always maintain a happy mind..

confession:
i have cut in line twice!
i have no explanation..no excuse..
yogini behaving badly..

(a friend here has said that
i am living off of my good merit..
i feel certain that two cuts
in line bring me back to zero..
~ time to start accumulating
positive deeds once again..
back of the line i go..)
