R ~
The world carries on while you're on the other side of the world. Arnold is still the Gubernator - tho' it still seems like some comedic dream from which we could all collectively wake if we chose to - and he's having a tete-a-tete with the Shrub tomorrow in our neighborhood - somewhere around Riverside.

More interestingly - in your neck of the woods - a new species of frog is discovered in India - it's purple and very cute. I somehow find this profound as it's a species heretofore thought to be extinct. The picture of it looks rather amorphous, purple and blobby - the type of Pongo creature certain Teddy Bears would befriend and name "Purple Blob Frog," or "Purply Blurply" for short.

China completed it's first manned space flight without incident and it is cause for massive celebration in that country. The launch wasn't televised until after the fact, in case there was an accident. The astronaut was 38 years old.

Some airline, whose name I missed on the news, is creating the longest airline flight in history - 18 hours - from Los Angeles to Singapore. Hmmm. . .another synchronicity? <g>

The cats are playing now as the sky turns from pink to gray, Pookie hurtling himself all over the floor, Sascha hiding under any object she can find, large or small.

I start to read "Beyond the Human Species." The first quote by Aurobindo, some of which I've excerpted already in these peculiar multi-voiced ramblings, is beautiful:

"The changes we see in the world today are intellectual, moral, physical in their ideal and intention: the spiritual revolution waits for its hour and throws up meanwhile its waves here and there. Until it comes, the sense of the others cannot be understood and till then all interpretations of present happenings and forecast of man's future are vain things. For its nature, power, event are that which will determine the next cycle of our humanity." ~ Sri Aurobindo

I don't quite understand that last sentence, but it's beautiful nonetheless.

I also check out Cirque du Soleil's "Zoomanity" website. It looks erotic and sensual with lots of G-strings and people kissing and writhing atop one another - from midgets to an interracial male couple, to exquisitely costumed other gendered creatures.

All these things happened on this day, while you were arriving, and still will be by the time you read this. Hopefully you are sweet dreaming by now and catching up for the wonders you are about to experience. Love, ~ K
