...last three miles. Muscles I never knew I had started to hurt. Boston College, Commonwealth Ave, and Beacon St. blurred into abstraction, I sure wasn't admiring the sights or the crowds. I looked only for the proffered drink... the raised garden hose... water sprayed on my face. What Nirvana...

...traditional jazz. Tuning tunes like Miles Davis' So What. Also playing some Sonny Rollins. That enough? They'll continue with original composition and some "straight-ahead" jazz.

...Dalai Lama is, after all, believed to be the very reincarnation of the Buddha in Buddhism's Tibetan variant. To see him during one of his rare public appearances is a step toward bliss. To hear the Wheel of Time sermon, however, is a guaranteed shortcut to nirvana. Such a blessing is rarely available.
