The Mind creates the abyss...

The Heart crosses over it.

I told you I was terrible at keeping up with these things, tried a diary once and I lasted maybe three days, not sure if its because I'm lazy or what.

So i have been listening to the audio book version of " After the ecstasy, the laundry," by Jack Kornfield . Its a great book and he is one of my favorite Buddhist writers. I wonder how many years we spend looking for something spiritually before we realize it has always been right there. Just a thought.

I cant wait for the Hobbit to come out in the theaters.

So Iain took his Ocarina to school for show and tell and played all of the Legend of Zelda songs he knew, one of the Kids in his class who can do everything said "Wow I could never do that!" what ego boost for Iain as he has been in a bit of a funk lately about his capabilities compared to other kids his age. I sometimes wish I could take over for him, be right there and say okay now when this happens do this, when he comes to a difficult situation. But I suppose that's how we grow.

That's all for now

I found out today that artist John Berkey died at the end of April, When I was young his art work had a strong impact on me ( I'm sure you can guess why), It's not that I followed his work all my life, but it was one of those things that when you find out someone has passed you kinda go "Wow that really sucks ." and you sort of look back and realize how much of what he did had an affect on you in a professional sense.

Apparently he had never even seen Star Wars, although the Death Star was based on his artwork and he didn't even consider Sci-fi a form of literature.

So right now we apparently are on our way to having a whole kingdom.

• Lets see we have a princess
  
• a baron
  
• and an ogre....
  

• And a lady Too!

omg I can' t believe I missed it ...
It's like I've sinned somehow. ME I missed STAR WARS day!!!

so

Here goes... to all my friends ...

MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU !!

1st day back to school today for Iain, and man was he ready.
1 month off with no one to play with but his sister can do strange things to an 8 year old boy, now we have to call him Link and he has changed his sisters name to Zelda and he keeps calling me Ganondorf plus he keeps sneaking up on me. he says he's playing but I personally think hes out to get me.

On another note, A minor

Today I got up from work , drove to bed and then fell awake while making money for the company dog.

So what exactly is the point to blogging, is it some secret desire to let people know what you do? what you like ? I mean phones do exist still with those you can actually talk to some one (GASP).
Or you could dare I say it visit someone. I think I will add a little something to my daily post maybe a link or a photo hmmmm...
