RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM RAM… as seen at Hallworth Design.

Frayed & surged zipper detail

As I remember it, the story is this. There was an old Hindu monk who spent his time sitting under a tree writing in a notebook. This made the other monks nervous. They suspected he was writing about them. The old monk died. The other monks found his notebook to see what he had written about them. All the pages were covered with the word, RAM, over and over again, the old monk had been sitting under the tree writing the name of God.

Fill in your own moral/meaning if you like.
