She does, doesn’t she? One of the things I’m most concerned about as a solo traveler is being paralyzed in her absence, unable to discern quality without her guidance. My natural tendency to a clown car esthetic definitely needs to be mitigated. Maybe I have an untapped reservoir of taste I’ve never needed to trigger as long as she’s with me, and I shall blossom in her absence. Or maybe I’m just a clown in a car. Stay tuned…

I am deeply, deeply embarrassed about the Buddhism mistake, and have edited the post. Thank you for pointing it out. I take doing my homework seriously, and I’m not sure how that slipped past. ChatGPT and I shall have words.

As always she has magnificent taste.

Also technically Buddhism is not monotheistic–Brahma and other Hindu deities (along with rafts and rafts of other deities) are posited to exist within the Pali canon, they just don’t matter–they are deluded beings stuck in samsara the same way humans are, just with better zip codes (for the moment). “Yeah we got lots of deities but none of them matter” is an entertainingly postmodern take for a 2500 year old religion.
