three months to spring

Bug Runner

Winter flu or cold, the bugs are coming. Head for the hills. Maybe it's good to go in the forest, make fresh contact with the good old outdoors, pretend current events aren't happening. Go way back to Eden.

secret hand gestures

Lohbado at the temple asked Dr. Jane Wormsly to teach him the secret hand gestures. There are so many things one might wish to say, but words fail, or don't do justice to the mental images or sensations one wishes to convey. Dr. Jane Wormsly often danced. She felt it was a more accurate expression of her feelings. Lohbado went to the temple and asked her to teach him some hand movements. At his age, dancing was a bit of a challenge. His joints were often stiff and sore. But his hands were flexible. Hand movements could be a powerful way to loosen up and enjoy the moment.

Lohbado listening to a recording of his grandmother's voice on the radio

After a couple weeks of festive season, Lohbado woke at 3 AM, turned on a hand crank radio and heard a recording of his grandmother Aida's voice. She suggested that if he could get over obsession with himself, he might experience great joy. The cause of suffering is based on a huge misunderstanding. Things aren't so solid as they seem. Reality is transparent and fluid. Her advice was to pay attention to details, don't take yourself so seriously, relax and have a sense of humour.

click on picture to see video. Happy New Year from the Chief Nomroh, Lohbado and members of the Moronovian Tabernacle. The pink unicorn underlined the importance of a friendly approach to the upcoming year. Friendliness, understanding, compassion, intelligence, the world is in need of good qualities to subdue the enemies of aggression, ignorance and greed lurking in one's mind.

wash your hands

With flu, snort and cough season well under way, Lohbado thought of how his grandmother Aida Stumps, who was a nurse before she married the Reverend Woodlot Stumps, preacher and founder of the Church of the Living Monument, would tell him to wash his hands. Lohbado, then Peter Stumps, feared microbes more than he feared sin. Sin was something abstract, related to his father's bad moods. Punishment was erratic and often had little connection with any sort of offence. Bacteria, on the other hand, could lead to immediate viral chaos, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, running nose, fever. Peter Stumps never forgot grandmother Stumps insistence that he wash his hands.
