Welcome to My World


Monk's sand art project ruined by toddler

Have you heard the latest news?

Eight Tibetan monks spent eight days on their knees meticulously piecing together a sand art project, called a mandala

, as an expression of their Buddhist faith at Union Station in Kansas City, MO. The monks were more than half way through with their project, when a curious toddler slipped under the ropes and trampled on their masterpiece.
The monks were not angry and responded in a very "Zen" fashion saying that they would just have to work harder to finish the project.

All I have to say to these poor monks is WELCOME TO MY WORLD (folded laundry, stacked DVDs, freshly made bed, make-up case, my lunch, my books/magazines/notepads, my phone calls, need I go on?)!!!

For that matter, have you gained enlightenment from folding laundry?

I wrote a little more about this at on my blog, Orient Lodge

That's so funny and so true! Julie Pippert at Artful Flower wrote about this as well - particularly about the public very un-zen like reaction - meanwhile, when I heard their response I felt immediately convicted that I wanted to have alot more patience with my pint size curious helpers - play is there job - it's loud and messy -it's my world too!
