check in march 17th

I DECIDED 
I wanted to go to 
I was trying to talk myself into
couldn't quite make myself go to the
unitarian church
that I'm trying to convince myself is walking distance 

AND
I'm just NOT buying
ANY
of
THAT 

& THEN I remembered there's a UNITY 

and I thought about that 
AND
I wasn't BUYING THAT either 

you HAVE to interact with people 

SO I thought 
MAYBE 
buddhists, maybe 

I'm finding 
some interesting stuff 
I'm not really sure what I'm looking for 
I've shut down 
I'm looking for people I would enjoy to be around 

I haven't tried buddhists yet 

there's a place
really close
that was started by 
a religion 
professor 
and 
a therapist 

it's supposed to be tibetan buddhism 
AND
there's a  ---nam myoho renge kyo
really pretty close 

there's the zen center 
in the heights 

& I've known about that
didn't THINK I'd like it
SEEMS

I'm not sure whether to say
intimidating &/or off- putting 

there's this
I MEAN 
it's in a beautiful old house
in a neighborhood of
EXPENSIVE 
houses

it's all beautiful 
BUT 
it's TOO MUCH too far

it feels too SERIOUS maybe 

I thought about it 
YEARS AGO

I didn't WANT to go 

the tibetan one
I have no idea

well, that's not true

I watched some videos 

I'm not sure 

I watched the people who lead the meditation 
I'm not sure I love the chant
I think I'd rather learn it
in tibetan 

the chanting 
SHOULD REALLY BE
the cool part

BUT 
they seem like
REAL people 
they're 
TALKING to the 
ASSEMBLED
group 

like they are capable of 
& YET 


I don't really KNOW what I WANT 

if I WANT the SHOW

or the people 

I guess I WANT a SHOW in the SENSE that 
I WANT a KINDA 
ritual something something 

I ALWAYS kinda
wanted that
BUT 
I could never really find it anywhere 

& I stopped looking years ago
BUT 
it's necessary for the rebuild 
I gotta interact with 
the FRAMEWORK 

I'm not sure
WHY
