Dear Friends of the #dead and #dying,
As we may know #death is another capital generator (for some). As I reach my end and prepare for #Sallekhana
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sallekhana
I will have to first:
- Move towards a #vegan diet (currently a failed #vegetarian)
- Get a suitable death councilor :gi:
- Prepare my composting :ablobcatpopcorn:
In other words I won't be leaving my body to science. It would probably be rejected on medical grounds. Also have much to do, to ensure my karma is chameleoned.
Have you planned for morbidity? Are you already gothed? 😇
As a #wer-#lobster I may just #molt a bit more before moulding...

This visit we wanted to offer a bhandara. A bhandara is serving food to the needy as an offering to God or in thanks for good fortune. It is something that is at the core of many Indian religious traditions including #Hinduism, #Jainism, #Buddhism, and especially #Sikhism as #langar at gurudwaras. It is something @dohappybelove saw many times growing up and we wanted to make a small contribution to share our joy and happiness with others
