How I was Freed of my Worldy Possessions....
I threw a free day in the backyard of my basement suite before I packed up to leave for Japan. I taped the cardboard sign (right) at a big intersection near my place and waited. Soon came the most excentric and wonderful mix of people into my back alley. They poked through my junk and waxed poetical about the treasures they found. One neighbour brought me 2 cucumbers from his garden. In exchange I gave him a happy birthday sign and candles for his grand-daughter who was turning 3 the next day. The good karma flowed as I was freed of many of my worldly possessions.
Towards the end of the day I decided to grab a bucket of chalk and
decorate the back alley. I felt a warm glow of neighbourly kindness
spark up. It was a blissfull day.
