Had to take a photo...

Actually I hear they are 'sweet peas'...thus the spiral-ation.

Salutations to Siva
Who wears a serpent as garland
Who is three-eyed
Whose bare body is covered with ashes
Who is forever pure and the very embodiment of sacrifice

faj bing

Lila and I took Nadine adventuring yesterday. First stop was to visit with Zazou and her kitty, "Faj Bing". He's such a COOL KAT!
Born with no ears and yet such a hipster!

infinite certainty

The Only One

From man's perspective
In this intricate game of love,
It is so easy to become confused
And think that you are the do-er.

But from God's Infinite Certainty,
He always knows

That he is the only One
Who should ever be put on trial.
