Jayarava - Bricolage

I'm calling my Project/Object "bricolage" these days - working with whatever happens to be at hand. Still working on my conceptual continuity...

Google - why I still like them, 2

Mohenjo DaroI've been spending some time on maps lately. If you follow the link you can see a high res image of the site of the ancient city of Mohenjo Daro - (see also left) one of the cities on the Indus River which date (depending who you talk to) from about 4000 BCE or perhaps as old as 7000BCE. This is the Swat Valley/Gandhara region home to many innovations in Buddhism - and closest approach to the silk road. Here is the Mahabodhi Temple marking the site where the Buddha meditated and Awakened.

I don't care what anyone says... this is way cool.
