Objects and events can only become 'hallowed' if they are observed and contemplated. The more you dwell on these things the greater their objectivity and relevence in the mind of someone living and observing. We create this world and can only make relevant what we catalogue and regard as relevant. Those unnoticed occourances are essential but can never become beautiful as beauty is an applied human subjectivity. To create beauty you MUST observe and document those events that inspire beauty within you. Once installed in your mind you can pass on the noitons of beauty to other people, thus making the things observed more beautiful.
I always loved Bill Hicks' bit on the need to squeegee one's third eye! I went back and reread my last e-mail to you and guffawed at my four-in-the-morning spelling.
Up the close and down the stair,
In the house with Burke and Hare.
Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief,
Knox, the boy who buys the beef.
Burke and Hare,
Fell down the stair,
With a body in a box,
Going to visit Dr. Knox.

Fear not Stari, I'm purging my system for greater good. Once I say my final goodbyes to my equipment I will be receiving a laptop software based system to record, create and perform anywhere; free from the shakle of office chair and bad view.
It's all taking a long time but I'll post my first track round here somewhere and you'll be the first to know about it.
Keep enjoing the sky and well done on your choice of Meat Beat Manifesto.
You know Stari, I think you'd love the Glastonury festival; I expect you'd spent your time in The Green Fields and never see any bands. It's so inspiring in there.
I finally saw one of the bands you mentioned ages ago: Dresden Dolls. They were amazing.
"There are only two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle, The other is as though everything is a miracle. I believe in the latter."

There are three kinds of violence: one, through our deeds; two, through our words; and three, through our thoughts. The root of all violence is in the world of thoughts, and that is why training the mind is so important.
I'm the sort of person who feels it - who climbs inside
I think we are all conduits of this energy - our lizard brain taking and giving this flight or fight animal undercurrent
I think the energy is to be shaped into creativity - although the shape of emotion is too often distorted into theologies of confusion

I've read a book by Eknath Easwaran - on meditation. A practice I'm conscious of, but don't implement
-This is the teaching of Yoga-
-Yoga is the cessation of the turnings of thought-
-When thought ceases the spirit stands in its true identity as observor to the world-
-Otherwise the observor identifies with the turnings of thought-

the oppressive humidity has finally lifted here in the Northeast ........... it was like grow gills or wither weather
I'm going to go run the stairs at the Empire State Plaza tonight
Hugs to you too! Things are both super and dumb at the moment.
I got into nursing school (yay!) and I start the 27th of this month.
I donated my hair and I love it short.
I have one more final tomorrow and it won't be hard. And I found out I am getting a paid vacation to mexico!
I am stressed about my boy though and the situatioin this summer. I am sad he is leaving so I have been acting kind of cold to him the last few days and tension is getting higher. I don't want us to part like this but I am not sure what I want to do. I has been a butt the last couple weeks from school stress which is typical but usually we make up and get lovey dovey again once break starts. But we won't be together when break starts soo.....Bah.
I love rollercoasters
i know you are the busy seastari these days - no worries! less time, but still as wonderful as ever. i love you bunches no matter how much or little time is exchanged, my little drizzlebizzle.
Actually the Grrek Orthodox believe that the first fruit (or at least the verboten one) was the fig, not apple. Oh, those pesky Catholics and their smear campaigns against the Celts.
Yes, summer! Fans are whirring, windows (plural) are rolled down and painted toes are being aired, sandal shod. I'm entering my birth month happy of the warm weather and activities best saved for sun worship. As always my dear, looking forward to reports on Stari-spinning and the photos to prove it.
Hope this helps. xT
I agree about Depp & Burton: they both great but when they work together they reach great heghts.
