in image*When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies.
Punks. Gangsters. Now you're a hacktivist. Which I
would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin' down
MasterCard. But there's no look to that lifestyle!
Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has
WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I'm mad about that. If
your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just
shut down the government, it seems to me he should at
least have an outfit for that."
- John Waters on the sorry style of today's rebels (WSJ)

I am fascinated by ritual.

They have so many different forms and varied affectations— different elaborations, steps, and varied repetitions — I love them.

I am often *taken* by them, and occasionally my attention is so captivated it makes me want to try it. This medicated ghee speaks to me, and shows me the value of Annette’s practice in so many different arenas of life. Makes me want to participate.

Thanks, Annette!

MY DAUGHTER: OK, GenX.
[I pull the car over to the curb]
ME: Listen Zoomer, as long as the
Millennials and the Boomers are
at war, we have a truce. But make
no mistake, GenX is nihilistic af
and if you step to us we will let
you drown in student loan debt.

"God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” said the preacher from the bully pulpit. Meanwhile, “If Michelangelo had been straight,” one lesbian comedian was heard espousing, “the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered.” Continual research into the infinite and enough time with my lesbian sisters tells me that she’s prolly got this sorted out.

The badges of honor and momentos of acclaim that come from climbing to your highest highs are nothing compared to the capacity we create internally of looking at our lowest lows with a fresh perspective.
After all, you can not chart a mountains range in meters without knowing sea level. And the best place to find the next peak is from the top of another.
In truth, though, you may have to climb all the way down to get all the way up. Better enjoy the climb.
