It's always in the strangest and most unlikely places that I seem to meet the best and most spiritually-aware people. While I was living amongst nature and being free in the Lyndon B. Johnson Municipal Park in Austin, TX I encountered this man who informed me he had studied in Tibet under the Dalai Lama, or someone kinda like the Dalai Lama. He said his name was Jave, and asked me all manner of deeply personal and spiritual questions. We discussed things like string theory, resurrection, karma, that movie Zeitgeist, how the planets work, and slack lining. Real interesting and intense stuff. The park security unfortunately asked us to leave shortly after he and I finished a spliff by his van, but she was kind enough to take this picture of us before we parted ways. Jave said he would be playing open mics around town with his friend Jory, some kind of two-person acoustic group called Spiritual Buzz. Go check em out if you're in the Austin area! I don't usually like to support live music (it's a trigger for me due to an event that happened in high school) but if you can stand to hang around music venues then go watch these dudes play! https://spiritualbuzz.bandcamp.com
