Figures.
So I haven't really been able to breathe very well for the past week and a half, well this morning to add to it I have a cold. So my voice is on the fritz, coughing and no one knows what is happening. Though several coworkers have offered their diagnosis. my favorite:
Eunice: Maybe you have strep
Me: I don't think so. I shared a bed with someone who had strep for 4 days and I didn't get it then.
Eunice: (turning to Hazel) YOU HAD STREP!?
Me: I didn't share a bed with Hazel!
Hazel: *to me* Dude, I told you everyone thought we were gay! *to Eunice* Lauren didn't share a bed with me! Her boyfriend had strep!
The Dalai Lama
I went to see the Dalai Lama speak today, he is my new hero. Any spiritual leader/head of state that says any of the following things is ok by me.
"lots of people think when they come to see me they will be blessed, or that I have miracle healing powers, that is nonsense. If I had miracle healing powers I would want to use them, my skin is so itchy. But some people brought ointment, so I guess now I have miracle healing powers for that. I am just a regular human being. See? Regular human head. But in the past few years I have started to get white hairs in my eyebrows. 3 or 4 in this one and about the same number in the other, I don't know. This eyebrow points up and this one points down...maybe scientists can explain it."
After his lecture on compasion
"This is not new. If you have heard me talk about this before, I am sorry if I bored you. If you haven't, I hope you continue to think about it and experiment with it in your life. If you don't like what I said, well...just forget about it. It's ok, I leave tomorrow."
During a question and answer period in which questions were submitted via internet
question: As a mother of a 10 month old child, what can i do to raise my child so as to ensure he has compasion and love ect.
"oh! I don't know. hahahaha. In this I have no practical experience. If he was a peaceful loving child i think I would have no problem. If he was always causing trouble...I don't know. I may have to take a stick...next question."
question: What is the single most important thing we can do to create a peaceful world?
"OH! I don't know! hahahahahaha"
