Deep in our sub-conscious, we are told Lie all our memories, lie all the notes Of all the music we have ever heard And all the phrases those we loved have spoken, Sorrows and losses time has since consoled, Family jokes, out-moded anecdotes Each sentimental souvenir and token Everything seen, experienced, each word Addressed to us in infancy, before Before we could even know or understand The implications of our wonderland. There they all are, the legendary lies The birthday treats, the sights, the sounds, the tears Forgotten debris of forgotten years Waiting to be recalled, waiting to rise Before our world dissolves before our eyes Waiting for some small, intimate reminder, A word, a tune, a known familiar scent An echo from the past when, innocent We looked upon the present with delight And doubted not the future would be kinder And never knew the loneliness of night.

by: Thich Nhat Hanh The first fruition of the practice is the attainment of froglessness. When a frog is put On the center of a plate She will jump out of the plate After just a few seconds. If you put the frog back again On the center of the plate, she will again jump out. You have so many plans. There is something you want to become. Therefore you always want to make a leap, a leap forward. It is difficult to keep the frog still on the center of the plate. You and I both have Buddha Nature in us. This is encouraging, but you and I both have Frog Nature in us. That is why the first attainment of the practice- froglessness is its name. artwork by Allison Zapata

I cried this morning when I heard of her death on the news, my girls were sitting at the table eating breakfast ... so the questions started coming in. Later in the day, I was in the nurses lounge at work and the television was on, and again I stood silently, crying. One of the nurses noticed me, and the questions began. How do you tell someone who has never heard of Benazir Bhutto about her history, her spirit .. I tried. A sorrowful day, what is the world coming to?

She's our adventure PE teacher at Evergreen Community Charter School and one amazing woman! Jo brings this freshness to movement, inspiring the kids, offering them stimulating challenges, and all without ever shaming or alienating them .. ahh, that more PE coaches could be so eloquent and powerful.

Her husband, Kevin Smith, is a fourth grade teacher at Evergreen and is one of the most innovative individuals I've ever met, he teaches from a place of enthusiasm that motivates the kids to want to learn. Ena was in his class two years ago and she had so much fun! I think Kevin can be credited for getting her started on the journey of true education. Thanks you two, you are cherished and appreciated.

I guess being the largest employer in the area, it stands to reason that the web site would be so comprehensive. missionhospitals.org/about-asheville.htm I just celebrated my 5th aniversary as an employe at Mission. The logo with the green cross and the dogwood is a favorite of mine. 
This wonderful musician performed at the LEAF Festival this past week-end, wow!

Naturally, my daughter ran and got my turkey call and had a clucky conversation with them. A little later on she herded the troops into our back yard and then baracaded them in. Now what am I going to do with a flock of wild turkeys to feed? Fornuately Sarah called and invited us over to her hot tub and that was that.... very relaxing evening.
