										&lt;div&gt;This magical little creature came into my life a month ago.&#xD;
It was love at first sight and the love just continues to grow.&#xD;
Everyday we teach each other more and more.&#xD;
He teaches me about compassion and unconditional love.&#xD;
I teach him about the world, the house rules, and circus tricks!&#xD;
I am continuosly blown away by how smart this little guy is.&#xD;
He learns so quickly and has a peaceful miaturity about him.&#xD;
And he's only 3 months old!&#xD;
I feel blessed by the Dog Gods.&#xD;
I never had a pet before and i imagine it could have been &#xD;
a total disaster.  And although he is alot of work, he is worth&#xD;
every thing i have to give him.&#xD;
My favorite part is when he wakes up and is all 'stretchy-kissy-lovey'.&#xD;
We do lots of downward dogs in the morning with tails a waggin'!&#xD;
&#xD;
Meet Jedi.  He is a Japanese Shiba Inu.&#xD;
Shiba means little brush and Inu means dog in japanese.&#xD;
They were bred in Japan as hunting dogs. Because of thier&#xD;
compact size, they could easily get through thick brush and &#xD;
chase out rabbits and fowl.  They are a very intelligent breed.&#xD;
They are very independent and proud and are knows as&#xD;
a "Big Dog in a Little Body". &#xD;
In Japan today, they are recognized as a national treasure.&#xD;
Just a little info for ya.  :)&#xD;
&#xD;
Anyway,  I found my soul mate!&#xD;

      <title>Presence is Knowledge</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/daxsavage/blog/0dfefe91-1fcc-4b8d-b341-3fd7b4720a26</link>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/daxsavage/blog/0dfefe91-1fcc-4b8d-b341-3fd7b4720a26"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/4f1/d36/4f1d36bf-0b70-4a37-a04f-7f2953bdd2cf.thumb" width="65" height="48" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;I've had the desire to write lately. It's not something i really do these days.&#xD;
I write songs, but that is another realm for me. that's music. it's my fantasy.&#xD;
This kind of writing is literal. And it takes presence because its about presence,&#xD;
what is happening right now at this moment. We write to process experience&#xD;
that if we were really present for, we learned something from it. We write to share&#xD;
the knowledge we learn.&#xD;
For me, experiences have to build up over a period of time until i am ready&#xD;
to process it all at once. Then i write. Then I grow from it. Then im ready for&#xD;
the next phase of experiences, the next phase of my life.&#xD;
&#xD;
Where are things for me in the present?&#xD;
Let me take a few moments to look at some major things that are happening right now:&#xD;
&#xD;
There is a war going on. A useless war. How does that effect me?&#xD;
The AIDS epidemic. It's a real threat to everyone. How does that effect me?&#xD;
Global Warming. It's here! How does this effect me?&#xD;
How does all of this effect you?&#xD;
There are homeless and mentally ill people living on the streets of the most economically&#xD;
abundant cities in America and the world. 50,000 to 60,000 in Skid Row alone.&#xD;
Thats downtown Los Angeles, folks! And I'm one paycheck away from joining them. How about you?&#xD;
&#xD;
Seems like people don't have time for other people anymore.&#xD;
We are all running around like chickens trying to get something done,&#xD;
but we can't remember what it was that was so important in the first place.&#xD;
Our #1 excuse for everything "not getting done" these days is we are too busy!&#xD;
This makes no sense.&#xD;
Families are more seperated than ever before. And forget about strangers!&#xD;
People isolate themselves from humanity out of fear, because the more of us&#xD;
there are, the scarier the world seems to become. There is so much violence&#xD;
going on everywhere because of this!&#xD;
&#xD;
Yes, it is scary out there. But we created it.&#xD;
So we can re-create it into something different.&#xD;
Something more present.&#xD;
How can we do this?&#xD;
&#xD;
Stop everything right now.&#xD;
take a deep breath.&#xD;
let it out.&#xD;
relax your jaw, shoulders, face, body.&#xD;
let all thoughts go.&#xD;
let the future thoughts go.&#xD;
let the past thoughts go.&#xD;
be in this moment right here.&#xD;
just be.&#xD;
and keep breathing!&#xD;
and just keep being.&#xD;
Feel that?!&#xD;
that is Prescence.&#xD;
that is Knowledge.&#xD;
&#xD;
Feels good, eh?&#xD;
&#xD;
do that all the time.&#xD;
You will feel and recognize a deeper understanding&#xD;
of life and your place in it.&#xD;
You will be a more effective human in society.&#xD;
You will remember you are not playing a role.&#xD;
you are living it, this is real.&#xD;
You are not crazy.&#xD;
you are not alone.&#xD;
you are not broke.&#xD;
you are not rich.&#xD;
you are not MySpace.&#xD;
you are not Tribe.&#xD;
You are not me.&#xD;
I am not you.&#xD;
You are not anything.&#xD;
I am not anything.&#xD;
WE JUST ARE.&#xD;
&#xD;
Presence empowers us.&#xD;
It tells us, "Wow, everything is okay!&#xD;
Everything I have been afraid of is in my mind.&#xD;
I am creating the myth that is not really ME.&#xD;
And now that i know this, I can really be the&#xD;
most authentic me. Just ME."&#xD;
&#xD;
How refreshing!&#xD;
&#xD;
I know your thinking, "Okay Dax, enough hippy shit, dude!&#xD;
Lay off the organic produce, its messin' wit ya head!&#xD;
Whats your point, Ghandi?"&#xD;
&#xD;
Well, I actually forgot my point.&#xD;
Which kinda makes my point, actually.&#xD;
Does'nt it?!&#xD;
&#xD;
Uh, anyways...&#xD;
&#xD;
All kidding aside, all Internet-nonsense aside, I have&#xD;
been distracted from being present. I am now, once again,&#xD;
being present. I know what is important again.&#xD;
Presence is Knowledge. Knowledge is Power.&#xD;
&#xD;
Now I can effectively send healing energy to every human being on this planet.&#xD;
To every animal, to every plant, to every mountain, lake, river and ocean.&#xD;
I am sending healin' energy to anything that needs healin' !!!&#xD;
&#xD;
Because it can't hurt...anymore.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Peace on Earth and a Happy HollyDay Season full of Love and P'Zazz!&#xD;
&#xD;
Sincerely,&#xD;
Dax&#xD;
