Fluids

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:24:20 -0500

alimentary:

First thing I drink in the morning: a glass of warm water mixed with a tsp of (really raw) honey, and a squeeze of lemon if I have it.

It’s an Ayurvedic recommendation to wake both you and your digestion up. I think the effect has more to do with the temperature of the liquid than the fructose in it.

p.s. Similarly, I avoid cold fluids with meals (hard to do when they serve ice water everywhere). It makes a noticeable difference in how you feel.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’”

the heart, abstract thoughts

sometimes it’s good to listen to the words that come out of our mouths. they will reveal our inner most feelings about ourselves, people, places, dreams, ideas, etc. “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”…matthew 12:34 sometimes my feelings, my dreams, my heart, and my mind are not in agreement. i become torn over simple things, mindless ideas. i narrow the world to a handful of sand instead of looking at the beach. but im so focused on that handful of sand that im missing the crashing of the waves, the beauty of the water, and the joy of the moment. then i realize as the sand escapes through the webs of my fingers that the sand is temporary. there have been so many handfuls of sand. sometimes i’ve grabbed handfuls of sand and created beautiful sandcastles, some more elaborate than others. some sandcastles remain, others have been smashed to pieces by a tumultuous wave. but there was no sadness, because the sand remained. sometimes i’ve received gifts of sand and i’ve never returned those to the vastness of the beach. sometimes, i get tired of the sand, but no matter where i go, im surrounded.

“Our primary function, in other words, is to teach people, not tasks; to participate in the complex and infinitely worthwhile labor of forming citizens, men and women capable of furthering what’s best about us and forestalling what’s worst. It is only secondarily—one might say incidentally—about producing workers.”

“Yah, so, the title of this post would tend to indicate Twitter is in control of Bit.ly. While they’re totally BFFs, and we see them hanging out together after school and bit.ly totally has Twitter’s letter jacket and stuff, Twitter doesn’t actually own bit.ly, uh, yet. That’s probably more their mistake than ours. Anyway, if you were misled by this title, we apologize. Carry on.”

All true - especially the letter jacket part
