Probably one of the best Dohas of Kabir, speaking directly to humanist philosophy open.spotify.com/track/3tapGd...

Kabir Doha, English translation
Where do you search me? I am with you
Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons, Neither in solitudes
Not in temples, nor in mosques Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash
I am with you o man, I am with you
Not in prayers, nor in meditation, Neither in fasting
Not in yogic exercises, Neither in renunciation
Neither in the vital force nor in the body, Not even in the ethereal space
Neither in the womb of Nature, Not in the breath of the breath
Seek earnestly and discover, In but a moment of search
Says Kabir, Listen with care, Where your faith is, I am there.

Spent Saturday with a friend who flew all the way from Sydney, Australia to Heidelberg, Germany. Spent Sunday with a friend who I haven't seen in over 13 years. With both friends, we made plans to meet again 💕 My heart is full and my cheeks are sore with all the smiling and laughing.

Trying to install the local transport ticket app in Heidelberg, only to find that Canada is Kanada in German (was miffed that I couldn't find it under C!) And that their app needs an address but is not designed to accept alphanumeric postal codes 😕

Everyone talks about pets being confused by the daylight time shift. Freya was at her peak toddler self today - no amount of play, walks and treats was enough - refused to respond to her name by the end of the day - tore her favourite toy - collapsed into sleep with her head under the couch

Always surprised to find sewer grating in North America with marks saying 'Made in India's Where exactly are they made in India? Also - do gulls murmurate? I just saw a humongous flock of gulls at the falls perform one! Bonus pic of a wet, cold and misty Niagara

Dogs with even the slightest amount of jowls end up with the gooberiest face when they are on their backs. Case in point -

A majestic yet slightly goober golden lab looking dog with ears like she is about to take off into the air. She has a slight dusting of snow on those ears and is wearing a dark blue harness

Same golden lab looking dog, looking exceedingly gooberish and bat-ish as she is on her back. She seems to have an impish smile and bat-like ears as she looks askance while lying on a soft and pretty carpet

A pleasure in this day and age to walk into a cafe that serves you drinks in regular drinkware, at a table, with accessories. Not fancy, just regular. An unchanging menu of Viennoiseries, Croque Madame et Monsieur, Quiche and baguettes Double points if it is within walking distance of your home 💖

Updates on Freya's growth 🐕 She has both been more than a handful and one of the happiest, friendliest and most calm puppies I've seen yet. And she still hasn't stopped growing 🙃

Took the puppy to visit a dog-free neighbourhood Indian Aunty's home. She behaved like a total goober - nipping, biting, yelping, jumping, refused to sit and stay when she knows both really well Walking back home, partner says - kids never fail to disappoint you, especially when visiting others 🥲

Freya is coming home next week 💓 She is quiet, a bit shy but curious and gentle. I can't quite make out her mix, and also can't wait to see her grow up 🥰

Just wanted to say thanks to @robcruickshank.bsky.social for the beautiful recommendation of Yōkai Netsuke exhibit at the Japan foundation in Toronto 💗😍 Hands down an amazing way to spend the afternoon. They also have a smashing library (free!) with tons of anime, manga and Japan related lit

My workplace also has an exceptional library that I couldn't resist reading from during my lung today. After finding out that I could take home books to read and bring them back whenever I was done (honor system), I skipped out in the evening with 4 books in hand 📚

Four books in a stack. Titles are - Am I making myself clear?, Beyond Bio fatalism, Daedalus - Health and Wealth, Identity Economics

She'd just finished her afternoon nap and groggily made her way to the kitchen for a cup of chai. While waiting for the water to boil, she thought about the movie she wanted to watch in the evening. It was October and her algorithms were full of spooky horror movies. Not her favourite.

But hey - for the privilege of these views, not seeing a single other human being for days, swims in pristine waters... I'll carry a canoe and hike for a bit 😎
