SEE the photos here, we had snow for a while last year and a white Noel.

The chod , cacophonic as it is, is purifying truly with such sounds and it is going on tonight, right now.

The cymbals, the drums, the singing...boom boom beding bedang...it is amazingly pruifying I always thought and I adore this cd.

It feels good to get back into praying with tibetan nuns on cd. I wonder what the Tozenji temple is doing tomorrow in this subrub. It is a chinese or japanese temple of buddhism nearby. The only buddhist temple I know of in the city. it is a small place where they do kimono graduations traditional ceremonies etc. It is japanese, not chinese.

UPDATE

Hubby just put on two NZbands called The chills and Sneaky feelings From his old 80s collection. Alternative pop, early 80s, pretty good. We are listening to old 8s new zealand bands from hubby's youth. very good though no singers can seem to sing to save their lives. This is The Verlaines, a band we have a small vinyl of called Death of the Maiden. This one album is vinyl too, the one playing.
