you remind me of home...

so, here's the deal. i've heard so many people lately saying that so-and-so reminded them of so-and-so. someone will ask me, "who does he/she remind you of?" ... i have no idea! they don't remind me of anyone. and i started thinking and i don't think i've ever had that thought. i scrolled through all these random people in my life ... and no one reminded me of anyone else...

my teabag

tonight said,
"there is nothing that keeps its youth, so far as i know, but a tree and truth." ~ Oliver Wendell holmes Jr.

hmm, i guess a tree keeps its' youth because it always has new leaves or because its' rings are hidden on the inside, i dunno. i just like that this deep, meaningful quote mentioned a tree. i like trees.

my friend's teabag said, "no man is an island, entire of itself." i love john donne, thank you, celestial seasonings.

not that there was ever much threat, but...

i've decided i want to be one of those people who works to live instead of one who lives to work. or maybe there's more, yeah, i want to live at work and work so that after work i can continue living.

i was talking with this one customer at the coffee shop. he has one leg and his name is scott. scott bike races internationally. he really likes holland. he says that the people there work so that they can live - where as most of america lives so that they can work. yeah, great insight, thanks for sharing, scott.

for the children

if anyone is in the Springs tomorrow you should come by the Plant at the Glen at 6 pm for a viewing of the documentary, Invisible Children. it started out with three dudes and a video camera in Uganda. now these war torn children are being heard, they are being given hope through education provided by people who care, people who know their names and people who love them.

don't you love things you can believe in?
