74 years, 1 month, 14 days

Stone

Cruising through a graveyard isn't something I do every day, but there are usually feasts of contrast and texture to be found, like this one. It's interesting that people's lives used to be tallied to the day for their headstones. I wonder when that custom changed.

peaceful warrior "A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability. He's about absolute vulnerability." Finally saw Peaceful Warrior with Nick Nolte last night on dvd. I liken the experience to when I finally read Eat, Pray, Love. I think something about waiting to savor these two gems is what packed the punch both of them had. And perhaps there was some sort of energetic thing going on with waiting. Doesn't really matter, but I'm going to see if I can remember this and look for a trend. The friend I watched the film with was busy writing down lines that resonated with him, which was most of the time, there were so many. But just now when I looked up quotes from the movie on google, nothing really resonates as much as it did last night. And that's fine. The resonating did its thing and I woke up in another frame of mind this morning. While I was out on my 4.5 mile walk, I was thinking about some of the scenes, and at a certain point I thought I saw myself emerge from a ripple in the field, so to speak. Hard to explain, like so much of Dan's character's experience, and not transmuted easily to someone else. But that's part of the deal--focus and a disciplined mind that's thrown out as much of its garbage as possible is what it takes. Blissmongering is my name for it.

carpolites Who knew--my Mother's Day ceramic tabletop fountain came complete with not just rocks, but carpolites. I must say that the translation job on the instructions was nearly flawless til I came across this term. I even had to look it up, and the word processing dictionary I'm using right now doesn't recognize it, either. According to the mini article on Wikipedia on the subject of its synonym "road metal", the term is commonly used these days in New Zealand but nowhere else. I love these universes of knowledge that open up in all their glory where there was ignorance before. Thank you, The Joy of Gardening, for making this all possible.
