I have been able to work downtown on the main campus of CCF again.... which I love, love, love.....I love the diversity there.....Anyway, I get to go to the Starbucks before I help facilitate group and they always have a posterboard out to sign.  The other day it asked for your favorite poem and favorite poet.....I put guesthouse by Rumi.....but actually it is anything by Rumi or Haviz.  I hope you enjoy the picture below.
Namaste,

Mira and Macy made this last summer with macy's friends....makes me smile :)

Marko got to see a good game tonight.  I swear that kid lives, eats and breathes baseball!!!  He knows every player in the major league and what position they play.  He is on a travel team this year.....:)
I guess we should all live our passion........

I hope you enjoy the quote below...it has nothing to do with baseball, but it says how I feel and try to live my life.....
Namaste,

Before you speak to me about your religion, first show it to me in how you treat other people; before you tell me how much you love your God, show me in how much you love all children; before you preach to me of your passion for your faith, teach me about it through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as in how you choose to live and give.

Don't move the way fear makes you move.
Move the way love makes you move.
Move the way joy makes you move.

Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah... I need to own this version!!!!

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

"OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS, ANGER IS POSSIBLY THE MOST FUN. TO LICK YOUR WOUNDS, TO SMACK YOUR LIPS OVER GRIEVANCES LONG PAST, TO ROLL OVER YOUR TONGUE THE PROSPECT OF BITTER CONFRONTATIONS STILL TO COME, TO SAVOR TO THE LAST TOOTHSOME MORSEL BOTH THE PAIN YOU ARE GIVEN AND THE PAIN YOU ARE GIVING BACK - IN MANY WAYS IT IS A FEAST FIT FOR A KING. THE CHIEF DRAWBACK IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE WOLFING DOWN IS YOURSELF. THE SKELETON AT THE FEAST IS YOU." (Frederick Beuchner)
