The Humid Air Is Not Evident In This Photo, But the Grass Is Green, the House Fresh-White, and the Air Free of Smoke!
"The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha—which is to demean oneself. That is what I want to talk about in this Chautauqua. ... We’re out of the marshes now, but the air is still so humid you can look straight up directly at the yellow circle of the sun as if there were smoke or smog in the sky. But we’re in the green countryside now. The farmhouses are clean and white and fresh. And there’s no smoke or smog." [End Chapter 1]
Photo substitution for somewhere after Eden Valley, MN. The grass was just as green and homes just as white along Rt 210. West of Fergus Falls, MN. This was a home by a road side rest area near Battle Lake, MN. The Narrator's poetic chapter ending reinforces his fresh clean thoughts for his Chautauquas. These are his philosophy presentations of his entire book which we are now starting off on.
