nice smells, a little depression, and a good book...

this is a site that sells a wonderful smelling pinion cedar incense... we found this smell when we were in new mexico last october and someone threw a pinion log on the fire and wow, it smells great...

so, the last couple days being home have been good and reflective, but also tiring and full of melancholy moments... just thinking a lot... but to what end i sometimes wonder?...

merton continues to amaze me at his ability to convey foreign concepts in reasonably simple manner... his comparative understandings of zen buddhism and christianity are very compelling... so much of what he says makes complete sense in the abstract, but i find myself wrestling with how this can change my reality, you know?... not just to 'apply' it, but to 'actually live in' it...

okay, well, i am off... going to see the bourne supremacy... nice...
