Tour Guide Meets Half Way House

My last two days have been interesting and very fun filled days.

The nights so much. Aaron and I had plans to hit Fag Fridays but passed on dancing in favor of sleep.

Yesterday afternoon was spent walking and riding around Fog City and hitting one of the main tourist traps in the City. I love being out near the water/piers and seeing the sights I rarely see.

It's very interesting and fun watching people and how they react to two men holding hands. I also love showing off my City to friends because it's like seeing everything I saw but only with new eyes!

The apartment the three visitors I'm sharing my space with for the next couple days have been kind, fun and interesting folk. I enjoying being a host!

My apartment has also become a sanctum to other friend as well.

Well more of a half way house meets storage unit meets shower and mess hall.

It's fine really because I love playing Mother Lion to those I love! My peeps are great people and I'm one lucky SOB!

We are all just trying to survive this crazy world and I'll support them all any way I can!!

Peace, until next I write!

Buddhist Thought of the Week

The creed of Jodo Shu Pure Land Buddhism: 1. Believing in the salvation by Amida Buddha as preached by Shakyamuni Buddha in his teachings, we pray to Amida Buddha as our anchor, and give thanks and services in return. 2. Following the teachings of Honen Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shu Buddhism, we repeat the sacred name of Amida Buddha (Namu Amida Butsu), and always try to be sincere and to be introspective. 3. We extend the circle of prayer to Amida Buddha, help one another, and try to contribute to the promotion of social purification as well as to peace and welfare,
