So my good friend and neighbor Scott has started a new blog called There's Treasure Everywhere.  It's a place where multiple contributors post about hints of beauty and spirituality that we find in everyday things like music, movies, books, poetry, etc.

So, today I wrote my first post over there.  It's about a children's record I used to listen to when I was a kid, and the new meaning it has for me now as an adult.  Check it out.

I still haven't watch Mulholland Drive, mainly because I haven't had any time to watch the current movie I have checked out from Netflix.

But I have been reading Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.  Turns out I'd only read a couple of chapters in that class I took in college, so much of it is stuff I haven't read before.  It's really amazing.  Here are some brand new quotes that stuck out to me:

"We keep waking from a dream we can't recall, looking around in surprise, and lapsing back, for years on end.  All I want to do is stay awake, keep my head up, prop my eyes open, with toothpicks, with trees."

"And we the people are vulnerable.  Our bodies are shot with mortality.  Our legs are fear and our arms are time.  These chill humors seep through our capillaries, weighting each cell with an icy dab of nonbeing, and that dab grows and swells and sucks the cell dry."

"What if I fell in a forest: Would a tree hear?"

"Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery."

"It was the perfect picture of utter spirituality and utter degradation."

Here's my obligatory Halloween post. :)

How to really inspire fear...
