Another reason I fear I may miss this great occasion is that I have a leather watchband, which is not permitted. I am one of those people who has to know what time it is. If I don't know the time, I go semi-crazy. It's approaching 12:45 now, so I guess this is one Guru Purnima that will have to go on without me. But I am pleased it is happening and that others will be there. These rituals do have effects. I remember about 20 years ago, when I was living in an apartment no more than 1/2 a mile from the dome, I forgot that it was Guru Purnima. Then at about 9 or so that evening, I started to feel very good -- calm and centered, mind absolutely clear, content. I didn't get tired at all that evening and didn't go to bed until very late. I felt completely different from my normal agitated state. At some point I remembered that it was Guru Purnima. Maybe the same will happen today, although I'm a little farther away. I don't think it will affect you though, Sal, since I think you are beyond redemption of any kind and happy to be so. Good luck with that!
Correctamundo, feste! JOOC, how far do the vibes go, though, IYO? I'm about a mile and a half from the dooms-- if I close my eyes, face east, try to think pure thoughts and maybe throw some salt over my shoulder, will that make a diff? Sal
