I had a good meditation this morning, and after seeing the video of a dharma talk, my friend and I went out to lunch and had a good, long chat and caught up. We recommended books and movies to each other, and talked of a couple of films we hoped to see this fall. Thomas Paul Anderson's "The Master" and the Lincoln one with Daniel Day Lewis. Her brother is dying, and it's been a long, hard journey for him and for her. She is taking extra good care of herself, and paring down how much she does as she goes through her grieving process. I have missed her, so seeing her again was so nice.
There is a chill in the air these last few days that signals fall, and I'm trying to adjust, other than hunting for Fall tablecloths, and it's hard letting go of summer. I've got to persuade myself to wear sweaters and jackets and socks. I was cold this morning in the temple, and even at the cafe. Here in California the humans have to adjust to the climate changes, because most places are not air conditioned, adequately heated, or insulated. That's why we all layer our clothes all the time and have scarves and sweatshirts tied around our necks. Remaining comfortable is our job, not the establishment's task.
So maybe it is time to switch shoes and forget about khakis. Back to jeans, I guess.
