Rose is a …

– Could not capture the craziness – Times Square at nightfall.

it’s a circus.

Sacred Journey on PBS

sm_IMG_9996_01

This documentary’s local, San Francisco/Bay Area showing is at 8pm Tuesday evening … but if you are unable to watch it, just stream it later…Sacred Journey …with Bruce Feiler. Sounds fascinating!

A “pilgrimage”… for me, it’s been about visiting the family grave in Japan and paying our respect to our ancestors. We exist today, thanks to our forebears. We’ve evolved into what we are today and within each of us is the long long lineage from generations before.

Where do you make your pilgrimage to? Where do you want to make the next pilgrimage to? It need not be exotic distant lands – For some, every time, we step into the forest; every time we climb a mountain or dive into the ocean…or watch a sunrise… and sunset … it’s a pilgrimage of sorts.

Wag-More-Bark-Less, the blog…

shibainu(from Pinterest – recalling there’s a photo just like this somewhere in our album:)

Inquired about this motto of mine – this bumper sticker would make a good stocking stuffer. Recently, I was reminded of this “mantra” as some man driving a sports car with road rage gave me the finger and yelled an unspeakable obscenity (lol) on LA highway (coming from N. Cal, I was apparently going too slow at 55mph on Santa Monica freeway…did you know it’s 65?). I was thrilled to see my mantra made into a bumper sticker – so weird to see my thoughts that came to me when we first adopted our shiba-inu many many years ago. He taught us so much of his dog-wisdom:) Life’s too short for rudeness, anger and fear. Smile with kindness to those haters… full of hope…perhaps some time out for yoga would help that man who will have high blood pressure & heart problems otherwise. To him and to all, Joy, Joy, Joy – remember, “wag more, bark less” !
