the little things

i'll be audi for the next coupla days — san rafael bound. i wish i was spending more time up there — so many people I wish I could visit. maya, darius (dariyumminess as he is known to me and my pals) city-ish. sir matteson and erin n. (la songbird), both living santa cruzian style. next time next time. but this is going to be drive-drive-drive-sleep-sleep-sleep-drive-drive-drive.

a couple of quotes from the sun magazine...

"There are plenty of good reasons for fighting... but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too. Where's evil? It's that large part of every man that wants to hate without limit, that wants to hate with God on its side." — Kurt Vonnegut.

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it understands that an edifice that produces beggars needs restructuring." — Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes." — Pema Chodron.

"Whatever people in general do not understand, they are always prepared to dislike; the incomprehensible is always the obnoxious." — L.E. Landon.
