The Refuge Without Compare

Roger, one of the Eugene Buddhist Priory cats, sits unmoving between the Oxherd pictures and the world news.

Out for a walk today beside the river in Eugene. Returned to find my companion's car broken into and looted. Together we two meditators managed to keep our heads and do the right things in a timely fashion. Merit for Margaret much appreciated.

He once roamed the streets of Jackson County, now a companion to an elderly woman and her daughter in Eugene. Indoors he is cute, outdoors he is still king of the road.

The last Oxherd picture can be seen on the right of Roger in the first photograph. It shows a joyful person, perhaps dancing in the street! Somehow that sums up my day, which might seem odd all things considered, but that's the way it is.

The refuge of the Sangha is without compare. Thank you good sisters and brothers, near and far.

I'm sorry that I've not been able to respond to comments recently.
