The Raw Story | Massive frozen water reservoirs discovered on Mars

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:20:15 -0800

From the page: "NASA scientists have discovered enormous underground reservoirs of frozen water on Mars, away from its polar caps, in the latest sign that life might be sustainable on the Red planet."

Great. Now we're going to ruin another planet.

If you let it run
It'll run...
If you let it go
It'll go...

When days turn to years and
Adults come from children, try
Not to lose hope when you
Grow old don't forget
Days when all you had to do was
Look up
Look out
Keep looking around

Don't be late
Live for happiness..

My Bloody Valentine is bringing their tour to the US in September. Now I just have to figure out how to get down to LA or SF to see them. They should really come to Seattle.

I've been wanting to get off caffeine, but I loves me some coffee, especially smiley coffee.

From the page: "Anyone who buys a hybrid in order to cut down on their contribution to global warming and uses it to drive to the supermarket to buy chicken, steaks, and milk should face up to the fact that there's no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist."

I guess carbon offsets are really absurd and just a way for people who use lots of energy to feel good about themselves, like their lip service is really serving a purpose.

p.s. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it seems plausible from what I know about the topic.

From the page: "It's useful to start small in dealing with our lives. Just select one detail and work on that. With one detail I feel that "Yes, I can do that. That's pretty easy." It's one small step in dealing with the fearsome monster. I become encouraged that I have more power than I'd thought.

Our teachers at Shogoji often said that our Soto Zen practice was menmitsu (??) - closely woven like cotton fabric. They told us to take care of the threads - the details - and life would take care of itself. In fine cotton cloth the threads are almost invisible. Each thread is weak and insignificant by itself. When they are woven together, all those small, weak threads make a large, strong piece of cloth. This is how we weave our lives - tiny thread by tiny thread. Each seems too small to bother with, but together they make a life.

Looking at the total situation - the huge piece of cloth to be made - can overwhelm us. We may allow our feelings of impatience and powerlessness to stop us in our tracks. Looking at what we have to do to get to some future place, it seems impossible. We don't want to do it. If, instead of living in the future or the past, we just weave the next thread, our ideas and emotions lose their power over us."
