Love of Life
--
My friend Jim Hampton remarked, "I love Mondrian. It's such a great quote and an important practice. It makes life into being like a good meal. You don't eat the entire plate's contents in one gulp. You savor each little bite and make it last."

The Ugly Mirror of Reality TV
My friend Dan said, "I couldn't agree more, Dan-o. I feel a sense of how pathetic our culture is just from seeing them advertised. I instantly think to myself of how repulsive it is that they give people a voice who nothing to offer but vacuous vanity wrapped in gratuitous accoutrement."
I feel exactly the same way. Long ago, Survivor got busy teaching young people that cheating, backstabbing and phony, devious "affection" was the way to get ahead.

What We Enjoy
happiness is not:
perfection, control or determined
by external events and people.
happiness is:
a product of your perception and
inner balance. When you define your
own energy, you bring your harmony
with you wherever you go.
