Thin crust pizza with arugula, Auroville, India
The Italians came and built a wood burning stove. The mozzarella is locally made, the olives are imported. I don’t know who originally brought the arugula seeds. Most of the ingredients are organic. The pizza cost CAN$3 and was pretty good (ie. excellent by most people’s standards which are not as stratospheric as mine). This message is a test of http://www.posterous.com.

Village butcher wears a lungi
A lungi is sort of a dohti, which is the men’s version of the sari and widely worn in the south of India. A cotton fabric of table cloth thickness is wrapped around the waist and reaches the ground, except then it’s picked up from the bottom and double up, bottom wrapped around the waist again to make a thigh to knee length skirty thing.
Some guys wear underwear, or even shorts, but maybe that’s cheating?

Can any experience be used for growth?
Does consciousness even tell the difference between laughing and crying so long as we are breathing?
What can an abundance of any one experience be used for?

Abundance is abundance. Even the abundance of tears can be used for something.
