Greetings,

I don't know what's better... the fact it's monkey mind's birthday, or that awesome picture of the monkey and the cake!

Have a chipper one MM... may it be as fun as the one that monkey had!

Metta,
Retro. :)

Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)

Happy Birthday!

This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

That is an actual photo from my birthday event. Usually I keep my hair a little more shaved, but let it all go yesterday.

I watched this movie "Cloud Atlas". It is supposed to be about karma and rebirth. There were some scenes that were truly entertaining, but I'm undecided about whether they captured the essence of karma. There is one line in the film, "Our crimes and our acts of kindness define our future."

Thank you for the well-wishing.

as others are, so am I."

harm no one nor have them harmed.
