As an American Buddhist, I'm here to say amen. (The dichotomy of that sentence brings me joy.) And also to add that maybe I just haven't met a real guru yet. I am open to the possibility. But we are human -- how could we ever expect everything from a guru who is only human as well.

Poor Clare. Great Welsh stomp. Moving north and seeing Gov’t Mule Sunday. Summertime, sweet summertime. Summertime plans? Nope, just summer fun! What are your thoughts about summertime fun?
