Any time you have a moment to relax, you can light up an incense cone or stick and maybe listen to music you like... I love Indian sitar music, and I both work and relax to the music and various incense aromas. I found a good site to order from online, it's http://www.incensewarehouse.com/ and it's cheap enough to try different smells to decide which ones...

Some days it's all about the Harley...

The sound and feel of tight-fitting leather, the scent...

The air, cool, and the sun warm against your face. Cranked up, loud and shuddering, gliding off through town. Some guys call their rides "girl", but I don't....my ride is an extension of myself.

About 10 years ago, one of my friends sent me a Christmas card that was a sample he'd gotten in the mail as an offer to personalize them and buy a box. Instead of buying more cards, he got a marker and crossed out the "your name here" statement, and roughly wrote his name in below it. He got an old, used envelope and put...

We can't make other people forgive us for things we've said or done, but we CAN forgive ourselves.

Give yourself a gift this holiday season...forgive yourself.

Poesia

Y fue a esa edad... Lleg la poesa

sali, de invierno o ro.
No s cmo ni cundo,
no, no eran voces, no eran
palabras, ni silencio,
pero desde una calle me llamaba,
desde las ramas de la noche,
de pronto entre los otros,
entre fuegos violentos
o regresando solo,
all estaba sin rostro
