At some point I stopped understanding the meaning of words like, "work", "vacation" "weekend" "hobby" "career". The pursuit of craftsmanship has taught me that every action is a prayer if it is performed as well as you are able.

I've been involved in blacksmithing about half my life, which recalls an interesting saying:

Do not fall into the error of the artist who boasts of twenty years
experience in his craft while in fact he has had only one year of
experience -- twenty times.

Sitting.

And I'm getting pretty good as standing too.

I'm amazing at not watching TV.

Retaining objectivity at the hardest times. Which sounds diplomatic, but usually just annoys everyone.

My tits and my eyes... teehee.

Andy Goldsworthy: Rivers and tides, Realms of the Unreal, Himalaya, A Complete History of My sexual Falures, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

Lately, Phil Ochs on Vinyl.

mmmm.... food. I stick to the three Pollanian rules: eat food, not too much, mostly plants.

I guess it's not really in my nature to think of things in these terms. I think we all find that we can (happily) get by with very little when it comes down to it.
But rather than answer literally (water, air, blah blah), how about a few things I would like to keep getting more of?

Balance. Physical, mental, all kinds.

Knowledge. All kinds. The useless as well as the useful. I am a curious person. It is the act of engaging the world around me that I find important; not whether or not I have memorized exactly how to use a semicolon.

Beauty. I am endlessly interested in beauty but not in decorations. Thats all I feel like saying about that right now.

Tlön, Uqbar, and Orbis Tertius

very important top-secret things.

I have an account on one of those internet dating sites.

And I immediately lose respect for anyone who lists Harry Potter as one of their favorite books. Sorry, its true. Doesn't mean I hate you. Doesn't mean we can't be friends, but you lose points. Big time.

日本語が話せる友達を作りたいんだ。言語は使わないと忘れてしまうもんだからね。

Eyes of a blue dog and I mean that.

Or if you think you can list every book, movie and song I quoted in my profile.
