Genesis of Thanks

November 22, 2007.

I'm so full. It is quite ridiculous.

My thoughts linger between mashed potatoes with gravy, and roast. After staggering a few obligatory laps around the loaded table, I opt for some delicious gluten instead.

After a few beleagured attempts to organize my thoughts, my mind gradually accepts the reality....

I'm so full. It is quite ridiculous.

Apple Pie? Yes please.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Paradox of Happiness.

Are you happy?

Why?

Tea

The ambrosial flavors of a blackcurrant tahitian vanilla tea sparkle momentarily on the periphery of my tongue, before blazing a scintillating and deeply satisfying trail through my throat.

Drinking tea is deeply relaxing and fulfilling: it is a tangible delight of life.

Tea and Me, we are Three.

priorities

I prioritize. I live simply. Because I have to.

My life here has only three gears, and no reverse.

1st gear: I study: frenetically.

2nd gear: Recreation: I climb: poorly :-)

3rd gear: Project/Involvment: I garden. happily.

Of course, what good would all my gears be without the spark, the powerdrive?

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4)
