Love the blog.....

-

I have been fortunate in that I have met and supped with people of diverse backgrounds. My summer 4th O' July parties were the best based on this fact. It is my favorite thing to do. I love people. I love the diversity. I have met some that I love to listen to. I have met some that have me enjoying a lengthy discussion while some have me relish in keeping it short.

In blogging...I have met some fascinating people. I wish that I could fly out and meet them all.

It would be problematic in that, according to today's culture and mores, I couldn't make love to some of the woman that have grown so dear to me.

The world creates such pearls of men and woman and I bask in their company.


Imagine...throwing a week long B B Q for all of your blog friends...


I would love to "sit" with James & Mark. I would love to hang with Rubik for a day. I couldn't ask for better female company than Cape & Kim. There are so many others...What a B B Q it would be.


I raise a glass to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I haven't been around for a bit. I've had a hard time typing as I just finished my third sitting of a five to six sitting process in getting a sleeve tattoo. My whole arm in other words.

I am getting a Chinese dragon for many reasons. Mostly though because it represents over-coming any obstacle to reach a goal. My goal and obstacle that I over-came being my disability court case that I won. Anyway, that's what I've been up to.

I would love to "sit" with you, as well as spend some time talking about the beautiful mysteries of life and beyond.

You got it Mark. I love the black bean spicy garden burger.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as...

We're all Gods witha capital "G", eh?

The multiplicity of available forums such as blogger, wordpress, my space and etc...allow us the ability to share something of our experience. And I like that:>) On some subjects we will agree while on others we may see things differently. And that's okay. So, here I go again... I recently read a brilliant and well written post on a Buddhist blog that mapped out the reasons why it is that Buddhists do not believe in a supreme being and that the concept of a creator God is antithetical to Buddhist thought. The post also cites that the Buddha listed belief in a supreme creator as one of the wrong views in the Brahmajala Sutta, Digha 1. This neatly packaged "Buddhist belief" feels like too big a piece of gristle in my mouth. Chewing it creates a rather fatty taste in my mouth and to spit it out feels rude. I have come to a place where I am sensitive or aware of beliefs, labels and such. At several points in my life I could say that I am a Christian, a Taoist, a Buddhist, ...

Loneliness is such a....drag

"Spiritual friendship, association with wise and noble friends, and wise and noble deeds are the whole of the holy life." the Buddha I, ve been watching some of the recurrent thoughts that arise to chastise me and one of the little buggers is the thought and the subsequent feelings of loneliness. When I was studying and reaching for a life as a Christian pastor, I felt a like-mind with several brothers and sisters that I had met along the way. Sometimes it seemed easy to extend grace toward one another. It was a time of embracing. There was value in " not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together." This friendship has not been duplicated since. I bear some responsibility for this. The level of fundamentalist Christian teaching that I withstood, questioned, and then left behind, left me lacking in trust of an organized anything: (see previous post) I have since relied on some of the friendships that developed through blogger to replace that which was not pres...
