Speaking of yoga, enlightenment and inner calm, those of us in Seattle have just finished saying good-bye to the Dali Lama, the spiritual leader of camelids and Tibetan Buddhists, who arrived here last week to talk about compassion, which we apparently don't have enough of. As I headed home after work yesterday, past the stadium where the Dali Lama was getting his honorary degree, I was mulling whether we really needed more compassion or whether the world is just lacking in civility, but I didn't get a chance to think that through, because I was immediately trampled by the throngs of people exiting the stadium, who were now more compassionate, but no more polite.
Would we all be better off if we did yoga on a daily basis? Is it the suppressing of flatulence that makes people cranky and rude? And what's with the myth that only guys fart and pick their nose?
