Buddhist zebras?

The sea of Bodhi leaf wishes on Buddha's day, 3 weeks ago.

Something about the core of Buddhism still tugs at my emotional strings, despite me being a part time agnostic.

I recently dreamt that a man asked me why I am not a Christian, and I said 'Well I do not believe in the teachings of Christ."

He said, "So what do you believe in then?"

"Buddhism."

"Now why is that?"

"Well, I feel a strong connection with its values."

"That's it!" he cried, almost with enthusiasticly. "A connection is all you need."

I loved this particular message. Beats talking about sending other people who don't agree with you to hell.

And here is my latest purchase from Target -- Zebra house slippers. How I wish I could wear them out (without getting too many weird looks, that is)!
