recording: ofdragonmagic-032507.mp3 movies affect me in odd ways. you have been warned. this piece, fresh from the mind after watching the movie ‘eragon’. movie references combined with other analogies and a humble bow to time and manifest truth as regards the nature of what is, the truth of connectedness, and the simple wisdom that no ripple, once felt, ever truly diminishes.

well. got to the pottery shop and they weren’t open for another hour. made the mistake of going into blockbuster to spend the time.

i decided i would ‘do something’ this weekend and here i am, the last day of it, trying to decide what i am ‘going to do’. hah.

random splash of oddness from the deeps.

short thought and insight. i know it as much deeper than i can spare the time to look in this moment.

this is a favorite piece from the camerado series by walt whitman.

the echoes of last week’s conversations continue. not fighting them. just letting them bounce as they will, watching and listening how they create other things, laughing at that process, seeing it clearly. no wonder i was always so distracted and anxious.
