Best Of

Every time I start to write about this. words fail me. The senselessness and sheer brutality bring tears to my heart. It is not enough, but my prayers go to/for the people impacted by this war, by all the wars raging upon this planet of ours.
Prayers for compassion
Prayers for mercy
Prayers for peace

Peace to all

With all packaging being naturally biodegradable in the Buddha's time, before plastic, what would they be picking up?
They used to make their robes from abandoned garments of the dead so that was the only plogging that I've heard of.

That is a really good point. I once asked Ajahn Punnadhammo about any references related to ecology and taking care of nature in the suttas. He said there are no real references to any of that because of what you said: the amount of trash was very limited and biodegradable mostly. Though there are some references in the vinaya to the respect of nature as in monks not being allowed to kill or remove plants. I will check that out...

I still imagine, me, peasant Kotishka, going for his morning jolk and seeing a huge turd in front of his mud hut and saying to himself angrily: "God damn Ramesh let his dogs poo in front of my house again! ... And also smashed his ceramic beer mug against the wall!"

** I managed to get the coconut-water out**, it is very delicious!

According to your first post, I thought you had already drank the coconut water, hence why I recommend throwing it hard on a concrete surface to crack it open...

No worries, I licked the concrete dry! That's how I know the coconut-water is so good!

Joke. I did drink it a few days ago.

I bought a coconut!

I managed to get the coconut-water out, it is very delicious!

I did not manage to break the coconut to get to the coconut-meat! I banged for ages with both a knife and a hammer but without success.

Any ideas?

Did you crack the case ?

I can't remember which Disney animation film it was, but the only word their Seagulls ever said was "mine".

I think that was in Pixar’s Finding Nemo…

Well ... I have been rapidly making up New Resolutions (to make up for the broken ones ...)

The Police came around yesterday but it was not me they were looking for. There was an incident in our road. Me and my two alibis heard it but saw nothing. The Criminal Investigation Department, parked one of their detective cars outside our door, to protect us from the naughties.

I will be good. I will be gooder. I will do goodliness!

Did you hear about the lady who passed out on the baggage carousel?
She came round eventually

I can't remember which Disney animation film it was, but the only word their Seagulls ever said was "mine".
As someone who has grown up around them on the Pacific Coast, it sure fits the bill.
