It finally happened...little over a month of living in this frozen land, and I finally tanked it on some ice. January 2nd, 2016. #NeverForgetTheGreatIceFall
Baking soda, olive oil, milk bath
...I used them to stop the pain...I think the milk worked best. Mincing jalapeños in your hands is a bad idea. Hot peppers were probably why cutting boards were invented.

Seiza in Japanese culture.
When a man sleeps all night on a couch because the love of his life is cuddled up right next to him and she looks too comfortable that he doesn't want to wake her. <3
Alumosaics.
When you are woken up from a dream and all the images are laying suspended in your mind like Keats' Grecian Urn, never coming together.
What would it be like (personally, not nationally) to transition from a democracy to a monarchy?
Requirements we assign to our leaders. What makes someone qualified to lead?
Chapbook or full poetry collection? Dang it. Publishing choices. Decisions...decisions...that will be made soon. It's time.
"We experience ourselves as entities, separate from the rest of the world--as containers with an inside and an outside. We also experience things external to us as entities--often as containers with insides and outsides. We experience ourselves as being made up of substances--e.g. flesh and bone--and external objects as being made of various kinds of substances--wood, stone, metal, etc. We experience many things, through sight and touch, as having distinct boundaries, when things have no distinct boundaries, we often project boundaries upon them--conceptualizing them as entities and often as containers (for example, forests, clearings, clouds, etc.)" -- from Metaphors We Live By
"The person who lives with cripples will soon learn to limp." -- Italian Proverb
"The entire world is my temple, and a very fine one too, if I'm not mistaken, and I'll never lack priests to serve it as long as there are men." -- Desiderius Erasmus
"Real friendship or love is not manufactured or achieved by an act of will or intention. Friendship is always an act of recognition." -- John O'Donohue
I need more zen in my life. Peace isn't out there, it's in here, and I just have to make it known. Ommmmm...
Concealment by Nature.
"And here in the night as I feel the inferno,
I stare in the dark thinking what is eternal?
The man or the moment, the act or the reason?
These thoughts fill my head as I contemplate treason
I stare in the dark thinking what is eternal?
The man or the moment, the act or the reason?
These thoughts fill my head as I contemplate treason
Of dreams I have had and dreams I have pondered.
When late in the night my mind it would wander
To things I have done and then quickly regretted
While denying vices my life had selected.
When late in the night my mind it would wander
To things I have done and then quickly regretted
While denying vices my life had selected.
And I think what I've done or have yet to begin,
And the man I've become and the man that I've been.
Now caught in a waltz with the eternal dancer,
I'm courted by death but death isn't the answer I say:
And the man I've become and the man that I've been.
Now caught in a waltz with the eternal dancer,
I'm courted by death but death isn't the answer I say:
'All I was meant to be
Could I suddenly just decide
Not a thought would survive?
Could it be my life's worth
Ended there with my birth?'
Could I suddenly just decide
Not a thought would survive?
Could it be my life's worth
Ended there with my birth?'
...To give one's whole life and find nothing's remembered.
And what good is a life that leaves nothing behind?
Not a thought or a dream that might echo in time."
Not a thought or a dream that might echo in time."
-- Transiberian Orchestra (I love their lyrics, and albums that tell stories just rock).
How strange it is in our culture that the face is the window to trust. Masked faces feel like bad news, even if they aren't.
Getting old is...not being able to finish a candy cane.
12 hour days of training doesn't make Becky a dull girl, just a tired one. But are we there yet?
Really wish my left eye would stop twitching...
Many things you do will have and have had lasting impacts on others. Isn't that both terrible and wonderful?
Handwritten letters are still the best. No matter how long they take to arrive.
We have a leap day this year!!! ^_^ First time in 4 years since Nick and I got together that we can actually celebrate on the day of our anniversary! Hehe!
New Colorado vernacular: 14ers/fourteeners = mountains that are 14,000+ ft above sea level. Coyot = Coyote without the e.
I love seeing the mountain views every day. Almost everywhere I go, I can see them. Even from places like the grocery store. How strange and lovely, like living in 2D all your life and then finding a magical entrance to a 3D world. So cool.
I think I'm missing something. Hrmm.
Cheers dears.
