Two Monks in one day

So this will be a quick note....today, on two separate occassions in two different parts of town, I saw two Monks. One was at about 8:50am and he was dressed in a red robe. Then later in the afternoon at about 1:30pm I saw another Monk walking out of a Thai restaurant dressed in a yellow robe.

Anybody else think that this is rather unique? I kinda feel like it is. I feel like it should be symbolic but I know it isn't. It's just rather different. We're in Phoenix. We don't generally ever see Monks here. Two in one day? Now that's just bizarre!

I don't know, I have been thinking all day how His Holiness The Dalai Lama was barred from the Peace Forum in South Africa. Could this be an auspicious sign?
Thank you for reminding me about ONE also!

Did the monks steal your login information to keep you from updating your blog? ha ha.

I don't think I've ever seen a monk in my life, didn't don't they're popular in AZ! Have you ever read the book "The Mermaid Chair?" this reminds me of that.

Lori ann - I read that news story and was saddened. How can anybody be threatened by the Dalai Lama? The only thing he has on his mind is peace. I don't get it.

Andy - you make me laugh! I've taken another break. I need to get back in to it. And ps - have you been blogging too??

Lauren - Yes I have read that book! I love that author's work. :)
