manjushri's got my back

Today I found out what services my bank is lacking..

I have this list you know of all the things that need to happen before I leave in 8 days...oh that would be nearing 7 days.

I wonder if I'll get them all done...

There is currently a sort of panic to get them done...you know that panic that comes before you get on a plane for far away places where you may be for many months...

A nun I know told me that when the monastics go on pilgrimage they like to think of it like preparing for death and so they like to get everything in order...I'm so far from that!!!!

freaking about the trip

went and bought a silk belly money p0uch...so I wont get ripped off...hmmmm a place to stash the passport etc. it's nice and soft so that I really can't even feel it.
Still don't have the "perfect" bag for my stuff....
stuff....stuff....oh my god...I'm trying to keep it down but rimpoche says take the wool sweater... so does christine, I'm getting the point...take the wool sweater...
