You have always been one with the Buddha, so do not pretend you can attain to this oneness by various practices.

--Huang Po

In my quest to write 10 new songs in 2003, I am well on my way, with 2 incomplete but quickly filling in ditties.

Did I tell you I joined a book club? I am not by nature a joiner of book clubs (or much else), but I thought it might be fun. However, the very first selection (which is decided upon by the leaders, not the group) is a really stupid book that reads like a novelization of a stupid movie. This may be tough going.
