First up, our favorite soon-to-be-daughter Amber graduated from Dental Hygiene school yesterday. We've been with her for several years now watching her work tirelessly to get accepted into the school. Retaking English 102 is enough of an indicator of how she would not be denied! For two years she's been
gettin after it, and has finally reached the other side/shore. The good news is, she still loves my son Eli and perhaps will marry him away from me someday soon! I thought I was going to have to pay some girl. That's her, Eli and I at the celebration gathering yesterday afternoon.
Secondly, recent movie:
Winged Migration. Absolutely nature. These guys spent about 4 years all over the planet making this movie. The photography of our planet is awesome, forgive my adjective-weakness. They talk about holding up in some place for 2 months to get a shot, and then, it ends up being less than 1 minute in the final cut. There's hardly any narrative, mostly beautiful music that was written for the film. I first saw it on PBS last week, and had to order my own copy. Recommended for anyone who loves birds, our planet.
Third. Some
Rumi. If you've not read any
Rumi yet, I think it's high-time you did! I'm getting through the second read of
Essential Rumi.
Every spoken word is a covering for the inner self.
There is a way between voice and presence where information flows.
In disciplined silence it opens.
With wandering talk it closes.
