"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you."

Please open your mind
We exist in the vast universe
Where no solid fixed shape
Yet, it is filled by endless atoms
Atoms move around freely and keep changing shapes
Until they form the steady state of relationship
Then they stop moving

Please open your mind
We grasp as a phenomenon for an object that has shape
Yet, a phenomenon keep changing continuously
There is nothing that does not change
Because there is no substance, we can create a form.
There is no substance and things change;
This is why matter exists

From "Wisdom to die in order to live", by Keiko Yanagisawa

"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

Mobile





























I've always loved mobiles. I tried very hard to fill my bedroom ceiling with them in my teens. I don't know why i like them, but there is something comforting about filling the space above your head. Maybe its time to make a few...
