Incidental Encounter

Last night, I drove Wabe, Kee and Hui Yu to the relative's house who is currently accomodating the little boy who is said to the reincarnation of an esteemed lama.
I had originally decided not to partake in the "blessing" ceremony as I felt awkard if I did not perform the gesturing required of the people of the faith and would appear to be rather aloof.
Surprisingly, I was drawn inside despite my initial discomfort..and I even knelt to be be patted by the little boy on the head! (I hope he isn't spooked by my GEL hardened SPIKEY hair..heh heh)

Almost 20 years ago, I remembered I read on a book .. TB Lobsang ..if I did not remembered wrongly..the mythical world of buttered tea..ricecake..third eye..monks who was full of humour...has fascinated me. Yesterday, I actually came face to face with such a person...

Incidentally, 2 days ago...my Ping An amulet was discovered to be smashed to pieces...the last time such things happened to me..was when I miraculously escaped unscathed when a motorcycle drove straight to me....thank goodness Wabe bought it for me that day... ODE TO BEE!
