Every so often Smith & I attend the Monday sale at Unique Thrift. Everything in the store is 50% off. It’s really ethical to get clothes from a consignment or thrift shop (or if new, from a locally-owned shop, especially one that makes clothes locally). The reason it’s ethical to get used clothing is that a lot of energy goes into manufacturing cloth.
I’ve started to collect old shirts with positive messages. “Positive” is desirable as long as it doesn’t mean a cancer test turning up positive, etc.
So this week’s catch includes shirts about teaching, a science fair & some kind of sports team sponsored by a concrete manufacturer. By wearing shirts with nice messages I am helping facilitate a beneficial flow, a flow about respecting great aspects of civilization. I have some nature shirts, too, but would like to find more.
I got the “Concrete Works” shirt thinking about concrete aggregated results of meditation, hope, prayer and dedicated good action, and also I was thinking about repairing this infrastructure in an environmentally-friendly way. And I happen to really favor the back of the shirt, too:
Nice to find myself threaded into Reality. Here’s some interesting stuff about the number 33…

Like the K. Smith shirt… 33 is a good number numerologically speaking…..
