A buddhist quote...

at once both lovely and true...

"Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form"

I hope happiness is clinging to you like a shadow today!

Your Heart is an Empty Room

How lovely...






... are these images of abandoned buildings from The Kingston Lounge ? I was so excited to see these particular images, because when I was cycling around Brooklyn in a glorious daze a few years back I actually stumbled upon the VERY BUILDINGS these are in and was soooo curious to see what was inside. What a neat mystery to have solved years later via the magical interwebs!

I was way too scared to try and take a peek myself of course... having imagined that they were the secret hideout of a Warriors-esque New York street gang!!! Which would have been pretty exciting too... in fact... damn you interwebs for ruining my fantasamagorical vision!

And now, because I have fleetingly mentioned the Warriors, I have an excuse to link to perhaps the greatest opening credits of all time... click to enjoy...


Yipppeee! (Oooops... that wasn't very gangsta-y)
