The balcony garden is doing very well.  The Nikon D3000 is doing even better.

I just finished reading some Alan Watts.  I feel calm, rested even, after taking in such simple yet profound wisdom.  He praised new music for it's continued celebration of humanity, it's appeal to the rhythm of the human spirit, and it's symbolism of /and simultaneously it's direct connection to/ the larger dance of life. I love it!

Life as a dance/party/rave.   Have as much fun as you can, make some awesome memories.

Creation stories have all failed to grasp or explain our position in creation.    We are not the end result of creation.  We're still watching creation unravel, but the rare opportunity to be a cognizant part of it, to marvel at it, and to learn from and be humbled by it...  The rarity is enough to make it feel sacred.
