Knowear is just beingyond

Along the Alameda Creek  levee somewhere between  Decoto Rd and Isherwood, actually  much closer to Decoto,  an over-the-fence glimpse at the tops of  someone’s  place,

In Japan mountains and mountain villages are very  common  as is the water that runs down the mountains

A country  home in Japan

Some villages are in need of  repair, a poster announcing a town event for concerned citizens

A first floor business  with living quarters above, not unusual in the city of Tokyo

Akihabara  and some ad agency’s notion of kawaii

Not much difference between the fake and real  kawaii . . .

If you drive out I40  west from Albuquerque  about an hour you may  see a sign for Acoma, its  a very old village, perhaps the oldest known continuing town in the United States. The pueblo is built on a mesa, you can see it below . . . we were out driving nowhere the first time, you had to walk up, now there is paved road,  a bus, formal tours . .

Some Acoma residents make wonderful pots

Some of the wooden things in my house.

And I went to San Francisco last Saturday, it was a beautiful day,  Next year the Sales Force building will open the observation floor, located  somewhere on the top, to the public.

So if you got this far,  Personal Enlightenment or Bodhisattva? or  perhaps Bodhisattvas are just self righteous cowards, Daruma was clear on this, “Buddhas don’t do good, Buddhas don’t do bad.”
