Gray Lenses for Dark Days.

Entertainment for Days?

I have done something to piss off my back, and I’m having to work overtime at work this week. So things might be a little slow for a while, both in posting here and in reading your own blogs.

In the meantime, here’s a mandala that incorporates both a Buddha and my personal favorite serpent, Ouroboros:

I think you’re supposed to stare at the central fish or something. So get to it!

  1. What’s it do if I stare long enough.

    dammit I hate not being stoned I can stare for at least an hour then.

  3. I stared at the central fish for 15 minutes yesterday and today I’m having fish for me dinner.

    Coincidence? I think not.

  6. apos: It’s supposed to help you clear your mind and enter a different state of consciousness. Like weed.

    leo: There do appear to be eight concentric circles there. Not sure where this came from, but the mandala-maker seemed to have his/her act together.

    beany: It’s probably a good thing you didn’t stare at the Buddha, then…

    menhir: Thanks for the well-wishes. I’ve never successfully “used” a mandala before but they sure are neat-looking.

    jackie: That’s why the Buddha always looks so peaceful… all those naps. And all those Chinese buffets don’t hurt, either.
