The radio is turned off. Birds are singing in the outdoor.  The patio door is open as I smoke cigarettes heavily and Billy is with me. Another wonderful morning in Coquitlam. The birds are warning of spring and the crow partakes in the chant and call of it. Our Amhitbbha old statue for 30$ in a tibetan junk shop of Montreal around 2002 is still standing , beautifully aged with discoloration and time, in our garden. I once broke the base in a 2008 moment of rage. The statue did not get damaged whatsoever thank goodness. So we still have it! After about 20 years. I got it upon my return from India and the nunnery , teaching ESL.
