internal torment en route to the city / Buddhist revelation

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Exile on Pain Street

Should I go to the gym before work or sit in Central Park, have a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin and read a few blogs?

The sound of one hand clapping.

You made the wise, wise decision there. And I hope you’ll do the same today–I’m looking out my kitchen window right now, and it’s GORGEOUS out there in Brooklyn-land!

Kedar: If it landed on “go the the gym” I still would have bagged out and chose the muffin.Leah: It WAS a spectacular day, wasn’t it? That night, I met a friend and we went for a walk in the city. So beautiful out. Daisy: We in America would take the gold in muffin tossing. And Pepsi drinking.Ellie: It’s ONE of the places, but this is my favorite venue.

Hahahaha…Oh, ha. When I first saw this post earlier in the week on my feed reader I completely missed the point, and I couldn’t click on to read the comments which explain it.See, if you don’t look carefully (like me), the sunlight reflecting on your laptop looks like a white splatter, like a bird has done the most almighty shit all over your screen. But it’s just sunlight. I get it now.
