Ghostly Segway Cops

Sitting on the sidewalk having dinner at our favorite taco joint and what passes but two Vallarta police ridding Segways down the sidewalk. Normally we only see them on their motor cycles or in cars but rarely just patrolling the streets on foot.

Have You Seen My Friend R2D2?

Crystals in a Stream

One of my favorite places in Mexico is a magical little village that is in a valley surrounded by mountains. It is only about an hour south of Mexico City.

When I went there most recently, I was trying to remember a very magical spot. It was a place with a stream running through it and with very old mature trees all along the stream. There are benches there where you can sit and get into a very meditative and contemplative mood.

As I was walking around one day, it finally came back to me, triggered by the familiarity of the road I was on and I found my way to the magical little stream. As I was sitting on the bank, I looked down and noticed a collection of crystals in a depression in the stream bed where the water could flow over them. The stream was cleaning the crystals.

A Message From Apolo

Apolo (the sun god of Greek mythology) often sends a message. We should be attentive because he doesn’t like to be ignored. You know how gods can be….

Morning Wabi-Sabi

As I sit in meditation each morning, occasionally I glance outside the door to my room and there are a number of potted plants there. This one, which has been there for some time has white mineral deposits on its base caused by water evaporation over many years. A wabi-sabi which many would have removed because it is not perfect, but too me it is more than perfect, and seeing it makes my morning meditation complete.

Elvis and Marilyn Live on in Eternity

One day while walking along a street in Kingston New York, I looked up and there were Elvis and Marilyn having an eternal moment on the roof of Broadway Joe’s Bar and Restaurant.
