sorry it's been so long

work is heating up. my first square foot garden is going well. 3 more to fill with soil and plant with summer veggies and herbs. may make a couple more boxes for flowers!

i just finished reading Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing by Jed McKenna.

current book: A Path with Heart, by Jack Kornfield, co-founder of Insight Meditation. Kornfield has more heart than McKenna, but both have valid information on spiritual enlightenment. Kornfield makes the process seem more worthwhile, though; McKenna focuses more on what he defines as the end of the process--nondual awareness. I do wonder what he'd have to say now, how he continued his growth.

both books are worthwhile reading.

sunday after a rainy morning reading in bed, i went out and took photos of art on the east side--paintings both commercial and decorative. will post soon.

lela is in europe, hannah is in branson, MO, kathleen is in orlando, going to cornwall in england tomorrow i believe.

and i'm here in austin.
