What is rooted is easy to nourish.
What is recent is easy to correct.
What is brittle is easy to break.
What is small is easy to scatter. 

Prevent trouble before it arises.
Put things in order before they exist.
The giant pine tree grows
from a tiny sprout.
The journey of a thousand miles
starts from beneath your feet.

Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion,
you ruin what was almost ripe.

Therefore the master takes action
by letting things take their course.
He remains as calm
at the end as at the beginning.
He has nothing,
thus has nothing to lose.
What he desires is non-desire;
what he learns is to unlearn.
He simply reminds people
of who they always have been.
He cares about nothing but the Tao.
Thus he can care for all things.

From The Tao Te Ching—The Canon of the Path and the Power:

In Tao the only motion is returning;

The only useful quality, weakness.

For though all creatures under heaven are the products of Being,

Being itself is the product of Not-being.

Even here, in the simplest and final distillation of Zen thought, we find that it all leads back to a woman.

Astronomy Picture of the Day is one of my favorite websites. Every brings a new amazing photograph or image of the seemingly limitless marvels of our universe.

When I think of the mysteries of the heavens, of light and time and space, my mind invariably drifts to the embodiment of all mystery hear on Earth.

The Post-Rapture Post - Send Messages to Loved Ones!

I hope these guys get rich.

From their website:

The time of the rapture is at hand. The signs described in the Bible that foreshadow the return of Jesus Christ are becoming all too clear. Not all who live during coming Great Tribulation will be spirited away to be with God. The Bible tells us that only those who repent of their sins and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ may enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you know someone who is in danger of being "left behind" because of a sinful life? Imagine if you could write a letter to a friend or loved one after the Great Day of Reckoning. Maybe a message to your family telling them to trust in God, and that everything will be okay. Perhaps you would leave instructions to care for your pets after your departure. It could be that your message is the light that opens a sinner's eyes to the Glory of God and allows them entrance to Heaven during the trials before the Second Coming. This is where the Post-Rapture Post comes in.

Just write your letter and it will be hand-delivered immediately following the exodus of the pure from the Earth. But you must be thinking to yourself, "How can the letters be delivered after the Rapture?" The answer is simple. The creators of this site are Atheists. That's right, we don't believe in God. How else would we be able to deliver your correspondence after the Rapture? 

In the meantime: a song that seems apppropriate, The Sins of Kilty O'Neal. Vocal samples from the website Blackout.com. Used by permission.

Here's another song from the same era, also appropriate, called Days of Wine & Roses. Voice and chorus samples from movie of the same name. Not used with permission.

Oh, both songs by yours truly, of course: composed, composted at a time when I  thought I needed to make some jungle/drumn'bass tracks to attract a younger, hipper urban audience. It worked as well as all my other plans to sell out have. Nonetheless, both songs hold a certain charm for me. Among a circle of composers and music-lovers of which I am part, there are a few people who think that Days of Wine & Roses is one of the best pieces I have ever done. 

I usually think that the last piece I've composed is the best thing I've ever done. That is, of course, until the doubt creeps in.

More on the Rapture, Santa, Satan, the Pope, donuts in Heaven, and Nixon coming soon.

  LONDON - A 22-year-old man suffered internal injuries after lighting a small firecracker he had inserted into his buttocks, paramedics said Thursday.

The incident took place Sunday, when Britain celebrated Bonfire Night, traditionally marked with fireworks to celebrate the Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder plot to blow up Parliament in the 17th century.

The man suffered burns and other unspecified internal injuries in the incident in Sunderland, 275 miles north of London.

I was using the magic wand tool to clean up some of the foreground image (the tree - see below) so that I could color-correct the lawn. Suddenly, Jesus appeared on the screen. 

Miracles still happen in this modern world of ours.
