Fw: Coffee Musings
The peace of the day can be found in the reflection of light in a dark brown cup. Black is not accurate the rich body of this beverage swathed in acomplex form that changes by the sip and by the temperature of the fluid. This is what we work forn what we live for, moments of bliss and quite contemplation. Release of the self into the abyss. Reading quotes today from movies and stuck on "fight club" for a while. The philosophy of a generation wrapped up there from our youth in the breakfast club to our loathing in what is now our middle years. Painful realizations, I really like my khakias.
Morning Zen
The rains came again today. Cleansing. Watching the rain fall and hit and ground and bounce back up. Wondering how to prepare ourselves for things to come. It is possible to ready for work in the morning. Prepared in the mind for what to do this afternoon. Laying groundwork for antipicated events. Savings accounts to be ready for that rainy day. Free of debt. Schooled in GTD. Those things are not easy. They were not taught in school. Learned by watching others and talking, and exploring, and seeking. Explore. Find the things that work for you. I tried the 43 folders, I could not keep it up. My Inbox on email is empty. My inbox on my desk is over a foot high. That is next...

Morning Zen
The external forces seem to cause disruptions to the flow. That cool groove stream and feeling well and sensing a golden buddha nested in the throat. then external forces. How to maintain that peace within when the outside things seek to disrupt?

Blog Action Day
Today is Blog Action Day where bloggers "gather" together to discuss proverty. What is poverty? When does one live in poverty? Is it relative? Is there poverty of the physical as well as the poverty of the soul?
I am still impressed by the teacher who asked if being homeless was a choice. Would anyone choose to be homeless? Run out of choices we do what we have to do.
I think of the poorest county in America. Up in South Dakota, the President even came to visit. Choice?
I do not believe that people can even speak intelligently about poverty and social aliments if they come from dominate culture. The world view is too askew.

2 til 4
Come by the studio for some ice cream fun!
Morning Zen
There is little in this world that is not a mystery. Even those things we think we understand seem to hold new meanings, new associations, new wonders. That which is ordinary and seen take a step back today and look at it new. Look at it for the first time again. Remove from the mind what the thing is, remove the preconceived notion of the thing, see it for what it is complete for the first time.

Blackberry Curve
I got a blackberry curve at the beginning of the school year. It is nice. Easy to use. The ringer and the alarm no longer function. TMobile is sending me a new phone. Enhanced protection may be a good thing to get if you are looking at a BlackBerry. A week without an alarm. Hope I can wake up on time...
Morning Zen
Profound thought denoted by the association of the simply. Why is so much spiritual principal explained in metaphor? Why are the most simple statements used to impart the most profound of knowledge. Why must one experience? Examine
