Day 108


It's getting ugly out there. 




I bought gasoline today for I believe the first time this year, certainly the first time since the quarantine began 108 days ago.  

"108" is an auspicious number in Buddhism - 108 barriers of delusion, 108 gates to realization, etc.

Today was the 108th day of quarantine.  I've encountered more barriers of delusion than gates to enlightenment since Friday the 13th of March, and as a nation we haven't some to seem significantly awakened.
