Soda straws (Lechuguilla Cave, New Mexico, USA)

"Seen here are exceptionally long soda straws, a type of stalactite - they appear to be composed of travertine (CaCO3, calcium carbonate). Soda straws are slender, cylindrical to subcylindrical dripstone speleothem attached to cave ceilings or upper walls. They have a hollow interior and form by dripping water."

We can't ignore our reality

Someone who begins to develop an interest in the teachings can tend to distance themselves from the reality of material things, as if the teachings were something completely apart from daily life. Often, at the bottom of all this, there is an attitude of giving up and running away from one's own problems, with the illusion that one will be able to find something that will miraculously help one to transcend all that.

But the teachings are based on the principle of our actual human condition. We have a physical body with all its various limits: each day we have to eat, work, rest, and so on. This is our reality, and we can't ignore it.

truly the coolest people are the ones who are just unashamedly into their interests. passion is sexy. practice is sexy. not giving a shit what anyone else thinks is the sexiest thing of all.
