My favorite Buddhist hungry ghost image. Insatiable in their desires, hungry ghosts wander the world for aeons bothering humans and must be placated through ritual offerings. Being reborn as a hungry ghost is not a desirable rebirth, to say the least.

One of my more uncommon plants flowered today: a small caudex plant from the deserts of southwest Africa. My winter grow room is full of flowers, but this slow-grower is extra special.

Stuck in Philly's historic 30th St Station for an hour or so. Truly one of the world's greatest train stations. I love these huge, grand old train stations and their imposing sense of liminality.

Diskit Gompa, founded in the 14th century, is one of the oldest monasteries in Nubra Valley. I can still feel the wind on my face and hear the prayer wheels turning.

Gary Hoisington (1950 – 2024), known as Gary Indiana, was an American writer, artist, and cultural critic. His characterization of American "depraved indifference" rings true now more than ever. I would add Dunning-Krugar into his mélange of atrocious traits.
