Brockport
This is my third day in Brockport. Tomorrow I am done with the program. But I don’t get to come back to NYC until Thursday morning. Le sigh.
It’s definitely an interesting experience coming back to Western New York. The kindest people live up here…they are sweet and enthusiastic. They may not have the most vegan options for food, but their hearts are definitely in the right...

Am I Really Alive?
This was the question a disciple asked a teacher. Am I really alive? He was unable to find the difference between his life and that of a cabbage when this question was asked.
Are our lives no different than some of the more industrious animals out there? Take ants or even squirrels and birds for example.
Eat, gather, build, and die. If that is all that we do, then what is the difference between...
