Artfest Experience
Posted in Art, Artfest, travel on April 8, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Now, that was a party! Wow! I am back home, have immediately come down with a cold and am trying to navigate the line between a fabulous experience and my day-to-day life.
I decided to go to Port Townsend a day early, in order to try and calm my nerves and not feel rushed. [...]
Artfest update
Posted in Art, Artfest, travel on April 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It is the last day of classes and I am sitting in the Commons lounge. Internet and cell service is intermittent and this is the first time I have turned on the computer since I checked in. The truck has not moved, since I only went off the Fort once last night with [...]
Port Townsend, day 1
Posted in Artfest, travel on April 1, 2008 | No Comments »
Yup, here I am in PT. It is very strange to be here without at least one Nicole around. I wandered down the main street and into our favourite stores, but it is much more fun with them. I think John has only been here once, which is why I think of [...]
Here I go…

Okay. I am going. Today. EEEEEEK!!!!!
I feel much better now. I seem to have recovered, other than bruises from the IV and vampires from the lab. I spent a good part of yesterday trying to get my pile of stuff to a point that I can pull it. For the class I am taking, it [...]
Vancouver - the shopping part
Posted in Vancouver, books, travel on March 19, 2008 | No Comments »
Aside from becoming enlightened beings (ha!), we also spent a fair bit of time wandering around Vancouver’s secondhand bookstores. While I go all over the place, John has not been off the Island much since we moved over. So his goals for the trips included Samosa Garden for lunch, meatballs at Ikea [...]
Metta weekend

Nisargadatta Maharaj once said, “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. Between the two my life flows.”
Ren - humanity, benevolence
Zbi - wisdom, knowledge
This quote was used in both retreats I have attended, and I really like it. This retreat was a Metta retreat, loving-kindness, which was really [...]
Travel - Vancouver and Israel
Posted in thesis, travel on March 17, 2008 | No Comments »
Wow, I can’t believe I have not posted in so long! With me, that means I am depressed, there is nothing going on, or there is too much going on! Luckily, the last couple of weeks fit the too much category.
I found that I was banging my head pretty hard against the thesis wall, so [...]
SS Time Machine
Posted in Sunday Scribblings, travel on February 29, 2008 | 7 Comments »
This week’s Sunday Scribbling is Time Machine. I missed last weeks, which was Passion. I was doing something I feel passionate about, so figure that counts!
If you had a time machine, how would you use it? Would you go back and change things? Don’t worry about the whole Star Trek time-space continuum [...]
Vancouver bound
Posted in Vancouver, meditation, thesis, travel, vipassana on February 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Hello from sunny Vancouver! I came over a couple of days ago, to do some thesis research and to attend a meditation retreat. Given my state of mind, my need to get past/through/over my thesis writing barriers and the general benefits I have found in meditation practice, I think it is about time [...]
