Pumpkin Party

Here is a shot of my pumpkin from the pumkin carving party at Sara and Brian's last night. Great turnout with almost 25 pumpkins worth of guts to compost. I'll post some more pumpkins soon.

Catching the rain

Had a chance to spend a few hours out in the woods a few days ago helping Brian put up some water collection instruments to be used in his thesis basin model. This place had been pretty torn up a few years ago by some heavy logging, but was starting to see some rejuvenation.

Reading of the day

Success is as dangerous as failure.
Hope is as hollow as fear.

What does it mean that success is as dangerous as failure?
Whether you go up the ladder or down it,
you position is shaky.
When you stand with your two feet on the ground,
you will always keep your balance.

What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear?
Hope and fear are both phantoms
that arise from thinking of the self.
When we don't see the self as self,
what do we have to fear?

See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;
then you can care for all things.
