So, Yesterday Afternoon...

... I printed out the last page of a full-length draft of "This is Not Me: Shedding Delusions," a collection of some two dozen essays adapted, for the most part, from ideas or sketches that first appeared in "The Buddha Diaries." In manuscript form, that's about 225 pages. The title comes from my favorite mantra, often repeated here: this is not me, this is not mine, this is not who I am. I believe and hope that it hangs together as a book. I am now looking for readers who would give me feedback. If you are a person who would take pleasure in that, please let me know privately at PeterAtLarge@mac.com. Meantime, my plan is to enjoy a weekend's vacation, and return to my blogging activities next week. I hope that word will spread that "Peter's back!"

Metta to all, with wishes for a wonderful weekend...

Reminds me of the Talking Heads song, "This is not my beautiful wife, this is not my beautiful car!"

Would offer to read your manuscript, but am swamped with other mandatory reading right now. Hope you find some worthy takers!

Love that song, Tara. Would have loved to have you as a reader, but understand the crunch...!
