Happy Interdependence Day
I like to take July 4th to celebrate the Buddhist doctrine of pratityasamutpada, or interdependence. Closely related to the experience of Sunyata, or void, realizing interdendence is a movment beyond the illusion of self-being, to see that the existence of any given thing in the world is dependent on the existence of all other things.

If this were so would we drink more vodka than beer? Would that mean that we would be less Canadian?
We would still drink beer, we'd just call them "brewskies". Wait! We already call them that! Please pass the samovar, comrade.
