Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in dewdrops on the grass, or even in one drop of water.

25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?

26 And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next.

27 And the Lord did not ask him again.

you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you.

Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about…

Atomic-Annihilation: Our Friend The Atom

Alabama Shakes, “You Ain’t Alone”.

Performed live in Seattle. Florence Welch’s incredible voice comes through even better in this scaled-down acoustic rendering.

Never underestimate the power of a few positive words. If you know there is a race happening near where you live, make up a sign and/or cheer for EVERYONE who goes by. We need it more than you could ever know. Even the walker, the lady with the stroller, the guy who’s leading the race… everyone deserves to hear a cheer.
Lie to us, tell us we look sexy, tell us we are out there killing it, tell us we are doing awesome, clap, whoop… anything. We love you for it, even if we look like death and can’t respond with a thank you.
