Went for a nighttime snowshoe outing with the Mistress, Cutthroat Jenny, and Indohran/Slohran (who pretty much went out on his very first snowshoe excursion tonight). Not only was this Slohran’s first outing on snowshoes, but he went out and bought snowshoes and boots today before giving the whole thing a try. This means, of course, [...] It is so good to finally be back home … and yes, Utah is now my home. My trip to Arizona was mentally draining in so many ways that I’ve not even been able to think about anything to post since I’ve been back … just trying to clear my head and get re-centered. Plan [...] Winter Moon A mountain grove, leafless— Cloudless skies, windstill— Dawn colors pinch the frost; chill moonlight overflows; All heaven and earth should be the name-board ”Palace of Broad Cold.” Winter Moon (2) Opening the window at midnight, the night air cold, Garden and roof a gleaming white, I go to the verandah, stretch out my [...] Not only does Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport have wireless internet service, but it’s free … and it works! Unlike the shitty wireless service I paid $10.00 for in Salt Lake last Tuesday. Feels so good to be headed home. Back to the snow. Away from my parents. And with 2007, a new life, if [...] Went to see the new Bond film, Casino Royale yesterday. Daniel Craig, who plays the new Bond does an excellent job. This movie tells how Bond became the Bond we’ve known over the past 30-40 years, albeit modernized to fit in the modern world, rather than in the Cold War setting of the original novels [...] … to a dear, dear friend: My beloved friend, You and I had a sweet talk, Long ago, one autumn night. Renewing itself, The year has rumbled along, That night still in memory. — Ryōkan (1758 – 1831), Japanese Zen poet and monk. Copyright © 1999, by Kent Peterson. Republished without permission, but it’s too good a story not to share. It’s been years now, but I’ll never forget that Christmas… The days had grown short, the snow had begun to fall and my friends and I were all gathered around old man Petersen’s bike shop in the [...] While out on my ride today in Fountain Hills, I came across this incredible sculpture on Saguaro Blvd … it’s at least 10 feet high altogether, made of various types of junk metal, and yet, from a distance, it looks so realistic. [...] I have now gone completely bat-shit crazy. My mom has this uncanny inability to let more than 5 minutes pass without saying something … she maintains a constant running commentary about pretty much anything and everything at all times. Next year, if I come back down, I’m flying in on 12/24, and flying home on [...] Spring That man’s life is but a dream— is what we now come to know. Its house abandoned, the garden has become home to butterflies. Summer Just a hint of thunder clouds in the evening sky. On summer mountains, the faint disk of the moon— night just beginning. Autumn Bushes bend toward earth before a [...] |
