Spooky

Greetings,

So, the story goes. Once upon a time there was a chemist, physicist and economist out in a boat for a picnic.

One of them took out a soda bottle, "Whoops," they said, "we forgot the opener."

"No problem," said the chemist. "Just shake it up and the pressure will blow the top off."

"I have a better idea," said the physicist, "lean it at an angle until the heat from the sun creates pressure and the gas will force the top off."

"Excellent suggestions gentlemen," said the economist. "However, I suggest we assume we have an opener."

Doing the Mango tango

Greetings,

I go, we go, you go.

Mango. Super Fruit. Buy one, peel it down. Savor the succulent mass of alfa bet your sweet antioxidents.

A, C, E.

Ace a mango.

The humility of a mango. How the skin releases it's interior dally daily dialogue.

Being unknown. Practice flowing sensations, this dancing mango simplicity. 

Mr. Mango said, "Remember, there are two kinds of people in the world."

"What are they?" wondered a child.

"There are people who want to blame you and people who want to distract you."

"I see," said the child. "You mean, according to the philosopher, Damon Young, 'distraction is chiefly an inability to identify, attend to what is valuable, even when we are hard working or content.'"

"Yes," that is what I mean," laughed Mr. Mango doing the tango with some Taoist monks.

Reflexology

Greetings,

A friend introduced me to the Jade Leaf Reflexology Center after school last Friday for a healing session. I released old toxins and negativity - physical, mental and emotional. The professional attention and completeness was a real joy.

I have included a link from authors Barbara and Kevin Kunz, Reflexologists,  who have taught and practiced Reflexology for 30 years in New Mexico. more>>

Happy healing and walk softly. It's a walking meditation.

Orhan Pamuk and Article 301

Greetings,

The Frankfurt Book Fair is honoring writers from Turkey. 

Orhan Pamuk spoke at the Fair about the ongoing struggle writers face in Turkey due to fear, government censorship and draconian oppression. 

In 2005 Pamuk was charged under Article 301 of the penal code after he spoke about the 30,000 Kurds and millions of Armenians killed in Turkey. He was acquitted. 

"...at this moment there are hundreds of writers and journalists being prosecuted and found guilty under this article."

"YouTube, like many other domestic and international websites, has been blocked for residents of Turkey for political reasons, Pamuk said...more...
