Funny what words do...

I have noticed that oftentimes, when people mean to say or write the word "Meditation", they often say "Mediation" or "Medication."

That's all.

Joining the Circus

Over dinner, tonight, my friends tell me about friends of theirs whose son, Casey, wanted to be a pro skateboarder.

After high school, he packed his board into his car and headed down to LA. His parents were skeptical about the validity of the plan but knowing the little bit that I know about them... they sent him  some love to take along.

Within a short time, his car got stolen.

Many could say: "Well, that was that. Time to come home and get a job."

He hung in there.

This is where he is today ...

Wintuk by Cirque du Soleil MEET THE CAST: Casey Rigney, performing in the Act Charivari as a Skate Street: He has been skating for 17 years and this would include 7 years pro. Casey won first place in best trick in 2002 at the Slam City JamV (one of the largest skateboard contests in the World)

This story makes me very, very happy.

Early AM walk

Whoever had the idea to drop deep shiny red leaves onto the bright green grass and then add a layer of fog to the whole thing is a hell of an artist. Thank you.

Blame?

When we "blame" - ourselves or others - we automatically subscribe to the notion of "something wrong." (If there is not the assumption that something is wrong, then there is no need for blame, right?)

But, can we know for sure that something is wrong? Something might be inconvenient, contrary to our plans or even painful ... but intrinsically wrong? Can we know for sure?

If if we cannot know for sure that something is wrong, then how can we blame?
