Non Sequitur

This whole graduation thing has got me all nostalgic. First off, I'm sooooo delighted to be receiving graduation gifts (read, very well received checks for financially vulnerable medical students). My paternal grandmother, Big Mama in my Bryan, Texas family parlance, for decades worked in a small restaurant preparing the most amazing pies. The owner of this restaurant recently gifted me a book entitled "Wisdom: 365 Thoughts from Indian Masters." So let's follow my stream of consciousness. As I sat on the floor reading all sort of great words of thought by Krishnamurti, Mahatma Gandhi, the poet Rabindranath Tagore, I curiously picked my journal from India (circa 2002) from the shelf. I could smell the curry. This of course led to Egypt (circa 2004) and China (circa 2003) journal browsing. In a new twist on my 'non sequiturs' I decided to publish three entries; one from each would do. Enjoy.
