I am so god damned depressed,

the wick is trimmed;

the light fades...

Tacet,

Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito.

Namaste....

Feeling a little beat down...always makes me pull out a little Latin.....
Namaste (not Latin) means I bow to you.....

Yield not to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against them? You may want to get the new cd by KT Tunstall, its the kind of thing that gives you hope...

Thanks Dlak....I am really a laid back, ultra positive with a non judgemental view of life who usually experiences life more as an observer of events instead of a reactor to events. So, when too many things burden my mind, I will sometimes grab on to the negative reasoning for a tad longer than my natural mind is used to.
If I were tell of my life's circumstances, in their entirty, you would get depressed too. LOL The power of the moment outweighs the thoughts of "ifs" "whats" "regrets", etc...
Reality is as it is...

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 little

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,

Seasons - garden update

-
Image
This summer has been very unusual. But I've seen it all before. There are times that the seasons act according to form and there are times that they don't. There have been more days of rain and clouds than sunny summer days. In point of fact, we had warmer days in May. We got started rather late but as you can see things are progressing in spite of all the wet weather.
