Morning Zen

That is funny. Like hard wired. It seems I strive and work and learn and develop and reach and grow, at least I hope so. And then whatever it is that happens in life. could be small, could be big, just an occurrence in life and then. Like going back to somewhere else in my mind in my reactions in my being. Growth or appearance of growth is simply gone to the wayside. Leaves behind something basic.
Wonder if there are those who are hard wired to be at a higher level.

Morning Zen

Riding the waves, I think life must sometimes be like surfing except for the fact I have only been on a board once and my balance is so very bad I could not stand up on it even while it lay in the sand on the beach far from the water. But the analogy (or metaphor or some figure of speech) holds in that there is a top and a bottom and forward motion and sometimes we crash and sometimes we ride it all the way to shore and then go back out and catch the next one.
So ride it well.

Morning Zen

Some days it is like stepping out of a storm cellar to find the storm outside is still in full swing. But once outside the protecting of the cellar we must stay and bear through the winds and rain. Hold Fast!

Movie Quote Friday

I thought of this one last night while making christmas ornaments. So the first person to comment on the quote with both Characters and Movie will get a hand blown Christmas Ornament.

"So what do you want?
"I want them to stop looking to me for answers, begging me to speak again, write again, be a leader. I want them to start thinking for themselves. I want my privacy."
"No, I mean, what do you WANT?"
"Oh. Dog and a beer."

Morning Zen

Morning prayer. There is something about taking if only a moment in the morning for lifting up thanks. For sitting if only for a moment in the presence of a higher. one.

Morning Zen

curve balls and zingers.
such is life.
Watch your head.

Furnace

We are getting resistance in one of the braids to the elements. Ten at night and sparky saves the day again

*$'s Via

It seems to me to be entirely counter to the purpose of having high quality coffee. Why make an instant coffee? Why drink instant? for that matter why even go to star bucks except they are accessible. They had a free taste this morning. Yes, it is on my way and easy to stop on the way to school. Not enough time to make it to the Free Coffee Monday at Evoke or my desire for the good stuff at Coffee Slingers. The Via was flat, it was woody, and watery. Did you try it? What do you think?

Morning Zen

Embrace the day. Interesting to watch and see and wonder.

Antigone

I could not remember who Antigone was. The daughter of a king to be sure but after that, nada. And so WikiPedia provides the answer. I would like to see this play by the Reduxion Theater Company http://reduxiontheatre.com/.
