Velvet Verbosity

The purpose of a blog seems self-evident. Don’t call me on my narcissistic tendencies.

At the Dharma center that me and my children lived at for a year, there was an old rusted out jeep that sat in the parking lot, slowing rotting back into the earth. This is a picture of the windshield from inside.  At one time it had been a functional vehicle used to drive up the mountain trails to bring food and supplies to people staying in solitary retreat.  I’ve seen many friends come out of solitary retreat.  There is something different in their eyes.  A softness, an exquisite melancholy, a grounded joyfulness, a tenderness.
