somewhere in my life i chose to separate my self from the outside world…to stand alone…my own man, shaped only by the life that ilive…it is a lonely way…it is a hard way…i’ve sometimes fought against that choice…mostly though, it is a choice of freedom…it is a choice of integrity in a corrupt culture…it is a choice to be responsible for who i am…it’s a way…in the chinese sense, it is tao…it suits me.

I know I’m not the only one who experiences a tiny thrill when the yoga teacher touches you during class…am i?

completely unrelated…it’s hard no to feel contempt for the way of life that produces the typical american…in spirit, it is a life dominated by unearned priviledge, lazieness, waste, violence, and stupidity…of course life is constant flux, so…it is also a way life that contains hard work, compassion, conservation, and intellectual curiosity…am i a grumpy old man, or do those latter qualities seem to be found in feweer and fewer people?

a very good friend just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last week…that young lady is blessed and loved…I just wish she had a different name…
