00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.000 align:middle line:90%


00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:01.500 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:04.890 align:middle line:84%
And so after breakfast
on Sunday morning, we'll

00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:07.230 align:middle line:84%
go take a walk in
the neighborhood

00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:09.730 align:middle line:90%
and this sort of goes to that.

00:00:09.730 --> 00:00:12.530 align:middle line:90%
It's called Neighborhood Buddha.

00:00:12.530 --> 00:00:15.800 align:middle line:84%
Speaking simple
words, ornate wisdom,

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.410 align:middle line:84%
I walk like the
neighborhood Buddha.

00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:21.170 align:middle line:84%
Visiting the dry
cleaner, the thin blonde

00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:23.300 align:middle line:90%
bleached in hair and pallor.

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:27.890 align:middle line:84%
Smiles crookedly as she
receives my laundry secrets

00:00:27.890 --> 00:00:30.260 align:middle line:90%
my need for ritual cleaning.

00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:32.689 align:middle line:90%
Why is the lesson never learned?

00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:35.240 align:middle line:84%
Our exchange signifies
more than history

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:40.110 align:middle line:84%
wrought by senators and generals
when she chooses to listen.

00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:43.980 align:middle line:84%
I tread to the next task
opening the hardware store,

00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:47.910 align:middle line:84%
a mystery of latches,
wires, screws, and metals

00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:52.890 align:middle line:84%
folded into aisles
requiring another education.

00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:57.720 align:middle line:84%
My words curiously
stored are useless here.

00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:00.480 align:middle line:84%
The chores end with
a tribute to the sky.

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.990 align:middle line:84%
Blue, clear cloudless
and accepting.

00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:07.830 align:middle line:84%
Tea and egg salad await my
travel into afternoon nap.

00:01:07.830 --> 00:01:12.200 align:middle line:84%
Slowly fading as the
week ends in peace.
