I met her in Cameron Park I don't remember her name but i call her Padma (padma is the sacret lotus) she was a little asian girl about 9 years old her mother was going to the food co-op and she let padma stay with me in the park we shared a sandwich she probably shouldn't have accepted food from strangers but I guess by that point we weren't strangers we fed the pigeons and a squirrel she told me she was going to dance lessons later that day she showed all the moves in very french sounding names she loved dancing and she was great at it we talked about God funny thing to talk about with a 9-year old but whe was eager to tell me about the Buddha I told her I liked Buddha too but that I didnt't believe in God she couln't believe that I didn't belive in God but she said that some day I would see "look at the sun" she said "look at the tree" "look at the pigeons" "their feathers" "is that not the work of God?" I could not disagree and I didn't have the heart to say "lool at that homeless guy" "look at the front page of the paper" "drugs" "war" **** ****** I didn't have the heart to tarnish her heart of gold
