My Plans to Create Something in the World of Lasting Value and Enjoy Doing It
I've been away from LJ for a while. Not that most people would notice because almost all of my entries are private these days. Back when there was a vibrant community here I was more inclined to post, being the ridiculously social creature that I am. So not so many to-do lists lately. I've been a bit scattered. I've also been very productive. I've ( Read more... ) -
Daily Record 8/11/2011 (Public)
I usually keep these private as they are often a combination of completely mundane stuff that no one would care about and private reflections that I prefer to keep uncensored. Today, however, I will share what my little bit of daily writing looks like. I also usually write these first thing in the morning, but sometimes also as a recap at night as ( Read more... ) -

It is a good day to be alive in the Empire ( Read more... ) -
Unity
There is only one thing in existence but this one thing is infinitely complex. From inside that makes this unity look like a multiplicity, but it is truly all one thing, every piece interwoven and part of the same single whole. -
Dreams
Amazing dream night. I had several vivid awesome dreams. The one I remember best I was on a space ship. I just arrived and was getting oriented with the vessel. It was about the size of the average ocean cruise ship. I was in the main cafeteria and had arrived after most of the food had been eaten but I could tell that there had been many choices ( Read more... ) -
A note about what I'm up to
I've been writing a lot privately, daily reflections along with a list of things to do during the day. Some of it is too mundane to share, some too personal, and some would make lovely public entries but I'd rather write naturally than have to split it all up for the various audiences or lack thereof. Overall I've been busy with storytelling and ( Read more... ) -
Last Night in New Orleans
I rode my bike out to Three Muses for dinner. The bike ride through the Bywater seemed somehow longer than usual. Did I pass the Press Street tracks yet? No, not yet. The streets of New Orleans look like I think streets are supposed to look. Small, ragged and flanked on both sides by beautiful old houses. Some are opulent, some are falling apart.

Moving Away
This room, which was never properly furnished, never properly lived in, then filled with boxes is now nearly empty again. My things wait in the otherwise empty living room to get packed away in a trailer tomorrow. It is the easiest packing I've ever done because I never really unpacked at all. The last time I left New Orleans was a lot like ( Read more... ) -
Spring in Asheville
Sometimes life is "perfect" simply because life is always perfect, the Tao works this way at times requiring us to put in a good amount of effort to actually perceive the perfection. The larger events in the world are challenging this way right now, from Libya to Japan to right here in the United States. In my personal life however, the trees bud ( Read more... ) -
what permaculture is teaching me about myself
I've been meaning to write this for days and of course it evolves a little more every day I don't write it. The permaculture course is serving to be as much of a catalyst for internal work as it is an education on the wonderful holistic design discipline. I am encountering new ways of seeing the world and seeing myself and myself in the world. ( Read more... )
