unexpected confluences
right on Thich Nhat Hanh and Mr. C.K., right on. Thich Nhat Hanh – Keeping the Peace ‘In order to forget that we have blocks of pain, sorrow, fear, and violence, we lose ourselves in the practice of consumption. Why do we turn on the television?

Bits of Tid
Found out in an unusually productive and soul-enriching journey through google that my uncle played the barber on the last episode of Pete and Pete.
