"Well good luck, sonny. Hate to tell you but the only time 'real' comes into it is when they're shooting at you. In practice, 'real' means dead— anything else, there's always room for some conversation." —Lew Basnight in Shadow Ticket, Thomas Pynchon

A troop of 30 monkeys visited me on Christmas. Not sure why they came, what they wanted, or what it meant. Our brief encounter was delightful and frightening, until the kid next door lit a cackle of firecrackers to shoo them away—apparently the proper way to get drunken monkeys to leave.

"The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give." - Philip K. Dick

"I would set you free, if I knew how. But it isn't free out here. All the animals, the plants, the minerals, even other kinds of men, are being broken and reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom, but the least free of all." (Gravity's Rainbow)

Sickness stinks, but Buddhists in the #Himalaya can call on several deities to help heal. This #ThangkaTuesday highlights Ta Chak Khyung Sum (རྟ་ཕྱག་ཁྱུང་གསུམ།), a single deity who packs the power of three: blue Chana Dorje, the green horse head of Tandin, and white Khyung. #tibetanart #buddhism
Painting of a standing, two armed dark blue deity with three eyes, stretching out his right hand and holding his left hand at heart level. He's standing on a lotus and is surrounded by orange and red flames. In his upswept hair is a small green horse's head and above the hair is a white mythical bird called a Garuda.

Any attempt to talk about Trump, like Ezra Klein in NYT this morning, that does not mention intimidation, violence and harassment against politicians and officials by his side (call them 'monarchists,' please) is awfully incomplete. For instance-- archive.is/W9WYu
