poetry of the day

Margot — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:26:09 +0000

Some Rumi worth ruminating over…

Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
and end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
and fall in.

I should be suspicious
of what I want.

- Rumi Mathnawi
from The Essential Rumi, version by Coleman Barks

Toronto daze

Margot — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:02:52 +0000

I’m doing pretty well in Toronto right now. I have a contract job that just got extended (until March) and am making enough to get by and go out for dinner once in awhile. My job is a bit boring, but I have good working conditions and am making good contacts. I’m drumming in two bands and going to a film club meeting twice a week to learn more about creating my own media.

I’m glad I came back here, it’s obviously part of the greater picture. Toronto is a great city and many will benefit from what I’m learning, doing, and becoming here.

That said, I miss BC & I’ll be back there eventually. Hopefully with the means to manifest a nice piece of land and/or with a soul mate.

Until then, I will enjoy what’s awesome about the East.

It was a walking around in High Park kind of day…

speaking of 5-year plans…

I move
in faith
my guidance is taking me on the highest plan possible
for this lifetime
(and henceforth)

this is me drumming

I heart trees

I appreciate greenery
wherever I find it

This is a brilliant use of Xtranormal, a site that allows one to make movies using animated characters and stilted computer-generated dialogue. This episode features wise words on the true nature of reality…

Toronto is positively dripping with art….

intention: to love my own guts

I’m taking part in a Naturopathic research study related to my digestive pain (oh how I dream of a time in the future where it does not plague me) and I’m happy that I’m getting a chance to help with some open-minded yet scientific research. There is a small financial bonus at the end (yay) but mostly I’m happy about the free high-end probiotics. Though there is a chance that I’ve been given a placebo, they’ll give me the real stuff at the end if that’s the case.

I am ready to be healthy!!

studio weekend

Margot — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:23:11 +0000

I just spent most of the weekend in a recording studio working on the highly ridiculous (and somewhat offensive) Jack Cass and his Cow Mountin’ Boys album. I enjoyed the process and really got in touch with how much I love to drum and how much I enjoy comedy.

It really is clever and hilarious. I’ll share some sounds after the final touches….
