Heavy diet
For most of the way, at my urging, she talked to me about Osho, the Indian philosopher whose book she was currently reading. I have a tendency to keep a respectful distance from formal philosophy under the pretext of retaining that little bit more of sanity, but still, if someone chanced across something interesting, I'm always curious and willing to listen.
So she filled me in on how Christianity is a more suitable religion for people of the West (though she didn't really explain why), whereas Buddhism encourages a kind of relative passivity due to the different perception of time. Buddhism beliefs include reincarnation - so there the Second Coming" so Westerners are more driven to change their environment.

Or at least, that was how I interpreted what she said. Philosophy can be too hard to stomach at 8:30 am. Several times, it was as if we were talking about different things ... while I thought I absorbed her words, I didn't feel as if she absorbed mine.

Spring. Windy. Whispering trees, shuffling grass. Whispering thoughts, shuffling feet.
The other day I saw two ladies daintily sitting on the cricket pitch in the middle of the lawn, primly eating their lunch, and I swallowed the urge to yell at them to get off the special grass.
Today, all was peaceful, but I was too tired to walk far.
