There is a space in deciding and acting that does not look like much. In fact, it looks like doing nothing. Before and after this space is decision and action in action. Within it is decision and action in potential. Both are often necessary.

Waiting in potential

A kindle is not a paper book and that's good
Honestly I thought I would hate it: I like the feel of paper. In fact, I only purchased mine as a cheap tablet-of-sorts (more on that at another time). The truth is, I have read and comprehended more books in less time than ever before.
If you are skeptical, I understand, but consider this: the kindle manages and aggregates notes and highlights, tweets, surfs the net, and--this is my favorite--reads to you (if allowed by the publisher).
Very cool.

Living of the verge of amazing
stretching
from plan to forever
God’s carpe diem
becomes our story
told across life
dusty feet
equipped hands
ready tongue
wherever, whatever needed
whenever open

Finding bee corpses disturbs me
Most of the year, I find dead honeybees near the mailboxes in my complex. I don't know if this is related to Colony collapse disorder, but I find it disturbing nonetheless. If the honeybees are dying in such numbers, what is wrong with the local ecosystem?

The Bible is at least literature, therefore...
All literature should be approached with respect for the author’s intentional meaning. This is multiplied when one of the authors is God. Given this, I suggest the following four questions as a basis for studying the Bible.

How to scramble eggs for increased nutrition
Since raw egg whites lock up a valuable nutrient, biotin, available in raw egg yolks, when I make scrambled eggs, I do not mix the eggs first.

- Heat pan to medium and add robust fat of choice (I use real butter).
- Crack whole eggs into pan, as if to make fried eggs.
- When the whites have nearly completed the cooking process and the yolks are still liquid, stir the eggs in the pan.
- As soon as you’ve finished stirring them, remove the scrambled eggs from the pan, put them on a plate, and enjoy.

What I did the day after vacation
Apparently, 5:00 is very early, especially the day after vacation. Rushed like a mad woman, made coffee and warmed a bit of steak, rushed out without glasses and had to go back, and missed my first bus. Ah well.
What we did on summer vacation
the decorative garden curb is assembled |
slate laid, and vinca planted |
a bit more vinca |
my water control trench, filled with gravel and ending in a soak pit |

the mountain house dressed in sweet peas |
the decorative garden curb: phase one complete |
Spanish Broom |
teensy daisies (about 1/2 inch max) |
lamb's quarters, I think |
hollyhock buds with giant black aphids |
another cool tiny path |
roots hugging a rock |
plants adorning a boat trailer |
Spanish Broom cascading down the slope |
cool trees in the neighbor's yard |

freaky jumping spider with one leg looking like a crab-thing |
pre-fireworks relaxation, soon to turn into a mad dash upstairs |
the lake before the boats stir up waves |
the path for the morning walk |
a flower found along the way |
the 7/4 rain storm: 10 minutes of downpour. wow. |
