heard this at a restaurant last night and couldn't remember who it was

moon water

     So remember the NASA expedition to crash into the moon and kick up some dust? Well, as stated by the Associated Press article, that dust is "making lunar exploration exciting again."
     One of the scientists excited reported: "We found water. And we didn't find just a little bit. We found a significant amount." And then he held up a white bucket for emphasis.
     There are so many things about this that are just great. 

the buddha

Remember the story of the Buddha sitting under the bodhi tree? 

"In traditional versions of the story, it’s said that no matter what appeared, whether it was demons or soldiers with weapons or alluring women, he had no reaction to it at all.  I’ve always thought, however, that perhaps the Buddha did experience emotions during that long night, but recognized them as simply dynamic energy moving through.  The feelings and sensations came up and passed away, came up and passed away.  They didn’t set off a chain reaction.

This process is often depicted in paintings as weapons transforming into flowers – warriors shooting thousands of flaming arrows at the Buddha as he sits under the bodhi tree but the arrows becoming blossoms."
        --Pema Chodrin

right away, great captain

the story behind this artist isn't anything new... it's a side project born out of the end of a relationship... but it is so sad and brutal and honest. 
i love it.
