1-07-17 - We're always helping each other but we can't really help people until we realize we can't really help people.

12-16-16 -

The countless number of ways to say

That nothing can be said

Is another endless game to play

Until the day we're dead.

6-15-13 - Missed the iPhone 5 workshop this morning. Got the time wrong. Should have written it down. Got here at 10am when it was over. Told Kabumpkan that rather than regret this I'd feed it to the reminder to write things down. He said, "Go on and regret, just regret that you don't know who you are. Feed this to that rather than try to improve yourself." "Can't I do both?" I wondered. "Sure," he said. "And try juggling at the same time."

5-15-13 - This morning I woke up thinking how Meister Eckhart and Bodhidharma both said we can do no better than just being idle. I've got lots to do today so I asked Kabumpkan what he thought. "Engage the relative, leave the other in neutral." I asked him what he meant by that. "Can't figure it out," he said.

11-18-12 -

Sight covers space
Sound moves in time
Thoughts bubble on
With their memes and their mimes.

(Said in response when Clay pointed out the sight sound space time angle.)

Use the other one.
