Los Angeles, CA 90034

A Fig!

I was so excited when I saw it start to swell and knew if was going to ripen. Finally came the day I decided to pick it the next day. My timing must have been right, because that morning I saw ants climbing on it so it had to be ready. The […]

“Étude Réaliste” by Algernon Charles Swinburne
(excerpt)

A baby’s feet, like sea-shells pink,
…….Might tempt, should heaven see meet,
An angel’s lips to kiss, we think,
…….A baby’s feet.
Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat
…….They stretch and spread and wink
Their ten soft buds that part and meet.
No flower-bells that expand and shrink
…….Gleam half so heavenly sweet
As shine on life’s untrodden brink
…….A Baby’s feet.
II
A baby’s hands, like […]

“Birth” by Devananda Pandit das
(Adapted from the 4Th chapter of Krishna book words and music by Devananda Pandit das.)
Peace came from the east
Success came from the west
And the sky was riddled with a billion stars
In villages and towns
Through many miles around
Signs of fortune offered their regards
The forests and the waters
Where dressed with fragrant […]

Real Prasadam Is Slow
Fresh locally grown foods cooked from scratch, sound familiar? While the “locally grown” part of Srila Prabhupada’s vision remains to be fully implemented, it is there.
Is Slow Food finally picking up speed in the US?

See my house at Google maps.
You can zoom into the second highest level of resolution.
In the view that shows the roads, if you go East to the lower resolution area and then North along McCreary Ridge Road, just before that splits into Big Wheeling Creek Rd and Limestone/Dallas Rd you will see an almost parallel […]

It’s Time To Stop America’s Addiction To Foreign Oil
“America is in a hole and it’s getting deeper every day. We import 70% of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost of the Iraq war.

Beloit College Mindset List For Incoming Class of 2012
This month, almost 2 million first-year students will head off to college campuses around the country. Most of them will be about 18 years old, born in 1990 when headlines sounded oddly familiar to those of today: Rising fuel costs were causing airlines to cut staff and flight schedules; Big Three car companies were […]

Unfortunately, as New Vrindaban contracted after the troubles, it was abandoned. Adi Guru has been organizing a project to restore it.
Today a lot of […]
