As the Apple Tempted Adam, As the Serpent Tempted Eve

Things I have thought about buying since October 1:

-potting soil
-yarn
-knitting needles
-a 5/8" masonry drill bit
-toothpaste
-a book
-aluminum foil
-an airplane ticket
-mulberry trees
-an apple tree
-a plum tree

Interesting to observe how the mind grasps at its desires. It's almost a physical impulse to grab on and "own" things. Then there's the sensation when you let go of the coveting--a feeling of lightness, almost floating.
