Re-starting slow with a new Rosemary plant. The plants that are still alive don't look exactly healthy but the peppers are still producing. I've been breaking my promise to be more attentive.

The Eleanor Desk
My grandma Eleanor gave me a large piece of 1" walnut ply a few years back and I made it into a desk. I made a base for it but didn't like the way the design came out. A few months back i found these legs at an industrial salvage store in LA. Today I finally had the time to get into my shop refinish the desk and pair the two together.

Paying attention to the details

Remnants and memories

Goals and accomplishments

I had a conversation recently about 'sentiment'. At the time I thought sentiment was good just because, in my mind, it was you communicating what was in your heart. Just last night I realized the difference between what is fact of the heart and what is nothing more than a want or a feeling. If there's no substance or action behind the communication of sentiment then there is no truth to what is being communicated. Its the equivalent to a drunk guy, that you don't know, telling you he loves you. Actions and words that speak the truth of the heart are difficult to recognize to the receiver. If its misinterpreted, it leaves the person receiving the sentiment feeling alone and misguided.

Cold, windy, choppy and not 3-4. But still a nice morning to sit back and enjoy the view.

Has anyone ever received a fortune cookie with 2 fortunes in it? Is that the equivalent to a 4 leaf clover?

Regardless, I felt special. Not just the great fortune, times 2, but more for the reason that these were made specifically for me and were answering exact questions that I had prior to getting the cookie. This is not in the idea that there is a small asian man typing away with my mental well being in mind. Its the fact that there was a tap on my shoulder and a finger pointing straight ahead. Its sometimes that direct, when I'm paying attention. 

Flying makes me numb. I use to be excited about where I was going or at least excited that I was headed home. Now its just a part of my day. Its not that I'm unhappy about the travel, its the fact that I lost that 'moment'. The moment that I use to realize the destination and was excited about who or what I was going to experience. I know I have not lost that moment. I believe that I just need to step back, put down all my devices, look out the window and see the beauty of what I'm being provided. All the people and places that I get to see and the new ones I'll meet. Priorities are being prioritized at this moment. Its now the task of keeping the ones that provide progress in sight.

If I keep losing direction I'll just listen to Try and Try Again by Billy Joe Shaver. That song's simple but it makes me happy.

The view from my room. I havent really had the time recently to enjoy the beauty of this city until this moment helped me take notice.

A difficult moment ending in a prayer.

My view during a great conversation. Thank You
