no more bedhead

It's been a while since I posted, so I'm taking the easy way out.  Twice.  That's right...it's a video two-fer.  But be warned, one of 'em will make you cry.

Leave Me - the story of a broken camera


Leave Me from Daros Films on Vimeo.

About 50 minutes into my drive home from work, I am greeted by a billboard, half of which is a picture of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

No matter what kind of day I've had, or how tired I am (especially during that drive), I look up at that picture and am filled with a sense of peace. A smile breaks out involuntarily, and I can feel my body relax. I've taken to slowing down and craning my neck around to see it in the morning, too.

Appropriately, I know that someday it will be gone. In the meantime, I look forward to being greeted by HH the Dalai Lama each day.
