Mad Shoe Love

Look what arrived on my doorstep today. Oh boy oh boy.

NOTE to those who don't have time to read: I DID NOT MAKE THESE OR DRAW ON THEM. THEY CAME THIS WAY.

Golden Lotus boots. Talk about mad love for an object--wow. Love these.

I sent pictures to friends who know I tangle and they all went crazy for my amazing artwork. They thought I made them. Thank you to everyone who even had that passing thought. I wish!!! But I DIDN'T MAKE THESE. I just bought them, as is. They're commercial boots. I took one look at them and helplessly succumbed.

Did I need them? No. Did I have to have them? Oh yeah. Am I sorry? You're kidding, right? NO.

I fear this makes me the Imelda Marcos of mindfulness practitioners. Uh-oh.

3 objects
3 poisons (can become)
3 seeds of virtue

Well it's a darned good thing there are only 2 objects there then!

(Can you tell I have no idea what your comment means? Ha ha)

It means you can turn your lust for the desired object into a virtue. Rather than having your grabby lust become a poison (which is the cause of suffering).
How? Give them to me instead. ha-ha.

Got it. I'm sticking with the poison! And they are comfortable too. Eat your heart out!
