I read a lot of Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism by Govinda on the train. 

When I'm around little children I think about Becoming Attached by Karen.

I mentioned 6 Persimmons, when my cousin was feeding one to his son. (Tricycle on Archive). Here's a lecture by Professor James Cahill on YouTube.

Shams is into boxing. It's mostly exercize. My cousin is going out to run a 5 miler. I ran a race with him when he was in high school, and he went out for track because of it. 

I meditated before and with Shams for 40 minutes today. I'm away from my home field, I had to use the bed and pillows, and I used the back of the bed as back support. I like it that I adapted to new circumstances. 

I'm going to go walk Ziti, their dog now. I surprised Ziti because I came down early in the morning. Ziti is a good dog.
