macrobiotics and unitarians

I did a macrobiotic diet for about 6 months long long ago. It was interesting, but kind of a pain to sustain IMO. I think perhaps I am too lazy in the kitchen.
I went to the unitarian church periodically. It often felt like a history lesson to me, which was cool. I like history. It did not feel particularly...enlightening, but it seemed like a nice community of people who go out of their way not to judge or hate. Hard to argue with that philosophy.

gods

so annie took me to a unitarian church, where the speaker discussed concepts of god.
supernaturalism, deism, pantheism, panentheism, naturalism. trouble is, when a label is attached a mental fabrication is created. what i like about being a 'buddhist-at-large,' is that the un-named remains un-named... you know by direct experience not by a received belief. why set boundries around the boundless? it only gets in the way.

Indian Cooking

Back when I was a full time jazz musician, I lived on macro-biotic & Indian food. Inexpensive and nutritious. All you need is a wok, 2 place settings, and a spice box.
