Come out of the circle of time, and into the circle of love.”

Many more to come.

But this is still KALIBEBTI WEEK! You are most celebratable, for even when our hearts are heavy & tired you make us smile. Here is a little e. e. for you:

may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old

Bless young you!

With the week almost at an end, I decided it was time to stop procrastinating about making this entry. I mean sure Kalibebti has set an example for me of procrastinating on certain goals of hers, but I shouldn’t let myself be swayed into skipping days of running when I’ve got just 50 to go to have run 365 in a row. And I shouldn’t drive up my subscriber count by disappearing and just not actively pursuing new subscribers (even though it works for her). And obviously since I strive to meet those abhorrent works of evil known as deadlines, I’m not following in her shoes there either. So I guess I’ve pushed this about as far as I can. Here are my wishes for her for the coming year:

May she make plans to reach out and contact old friends before they forget who she is, possibly even coming to Hawaii in March to hang out with Mahinui and me at the treehouse. May her creative muses inspire her to write daily, and may she have the dedication needed to sell herself so that she does get published. And may she get at least 30 minutes of cardio daily including hitting the heavy bag and doing squats and whatever else it takes to get her legs to look the way she wants them to look.

“A master at the art of living makes no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion – he hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues with excellence what he is about and leaves others to determine, whether he is working or playing. He himself always knows, he is doing both.” – Wilfred A. Peterson” ~thank you Josh for posting this on your front page

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

His philosophy has always made profound sense to me. I would even call it wisdom.

“I just experience, and experience until I wish the universe or the Nothing would stop pounding on my strings already. Surely it has heard enough of that song.” – Kalibebti

The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

– Bob Moawad
