| dew on morning grass are love | |||||
| brought to you by the isLove Generator | |||||

I've noticed throughout my life that people, again and again, seem to project the strangest notions onto the idea of me. I've also noticed that I often tend to have an unhealthy habit of finding myself caught up in the implications of those many times strange, random, and larger than life projections. As an antidote to this conundrum I offer my journal as a record of what actually goes on in my little mundane life, in my little mundane mind, for what it is layed bare: quite average, not at all larger than much of anything, and full of the usual traps, disequilibriums, assurances, insecurities and idiosyncracies that anyone might face living a human life. Namaste.
And by the way, if you have stumbled here and wish to read my journal, many entries are friends only. Add me if you wish but do drop a line of introduction. Most likely I will add you, too. Good night.

"Be only your face. Go to the threshold. Do not remain the subjects of your properties or faculties, do not stay beneath them: rather, go with them, in them, beyond them." Agamben

The best, like water,
Benefit all and do not compete.
They dwell in lowly spots that everyone else scorns.
Putting others before themselves,
They find themselves in the foremost place
And come very near to the Tao.
In their dwelling, they love the earth;
In their heart, they love what is deep;
In personal relationships, they love kindness;
In their words, they love truth.
In the world, they love peace.
In personal affairs, they love what is right.
In action, they love choosing the right time.
It is because they do not compete with others
That they are beyond the reproach of the world.
Lao Tzu
Tao Te Ching
(Translation by Stephen Ruppenthal)
