Every day, priests minutely examine the Law
And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
Before doing that, though, they should learn
How to read the love letters sent by the wind
and rain, the snow and moon.

Ah, yes!
Last night, I went to see the movie Bab'Aziz, The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul. It is a beautiful movie and with me this morning. How simple it seems, "just walk."
I am peaceful and calm this morning, feeling whole.
Steve returns from Rome this evening, so now there will be two to give Tiger and Bella the attention they need. Bella, especially is very insistent, and as I type right now, there is a tail touching my face. She is standing on my books and making it very clear what my fingers should be doing.
It is a day of joy and breath. Breathe!
