Look at my belly,
So rotund, full of jelly!
I am in a jam.

Play a Krishna mantra
Hear the rain pattering down
Cars knifing wet wind
Distant dogs howling
Even the tinnitus
ringing in my ears
Anything but the
narrative
playing in my head
Poison
from the well of
quiet desperation
of loneliness
of false perception
Just because the world
doesn't smile back at you
once
doesn't mean it doesn't
I just don't perceive
So
make the blood rush
into my brain and flush away
what smothers joy
Meditate
deepest desires
into existence
hear the dogs howl
hear the baby cry
But see the Buddha laugh
and smile back
It's good to breathe
It's good to be

With a Jewish father and a Catholic mother on vacations we were always unsure what to do
Was it St. Christopher or Yahweh who would hear our prayers…on road trips…we never knew.
We finally came up with a plan that we knew couldn’t be wrong….
We decided we’d be safer if we let both of them ride along..
As I grew older I never found a religion I could completely get behind…
So I’ve tried to follow one doctrine every religion possesses…in two simple words…Be Kind.
But that doesn’t stop me during a vacation on a road trip short or long….from riding with my St. Christopher’s medal…and bringing all the Gods along…
Allah, Jesus,…Brahman…I invite whether traveling in this country or abroad…
I even ask the Buddha (who never professed to be a God).
But they all believed in being kind…a wonderful epithet….
besides…when it comes to road trips and vacations…I like to hedge my bets.
Which is why on this road trip you’ll find many a God riding with me…on my shoulders…unabashed…
you’ll also find St. Christopher in my pocket…
and the Buddha on my dash.

An allergic reaction to foods isn’t nice
So warnings on food labels are good advice
But…..
We all know that milk comes from a cow’s udder
So do we need this printed on a pat of ‘Buddha’?
WARNING - MAY CONTAIN MILK
I think health and safety have finally gone mad
To have this printed on a butter pat really is sad!
So if it’s called butter made with milk from a cow
They can remove the warning notice from now
Contest Warning

This is a true story - my hubby still has the tiny label from the pat of butter he was given in hospital... maybe they were taking health and safety a little too far
