the instinct of the
hunter-gatherer comes out
in the marketplace

Poetry is Ours (haiku)

Patching together
fragments of signs creates whole
worlds of new meaning...

(found on a roller-door in Chinatown)

according to spanish-english dictionaries:

1. Happiness, Contentment: (felicidad).

2. Luck: (suerte)
'por ventura' = luckily
'Buena ventura' = good fortune told by gypsies and travelling mystics.
'Probar ventura' = to try one’s fortune, to venture at, on, or upon.

3. Contingency, casualness, happenstance, adventure:
'a la (buena) ventura' = at random; without a fixed plan.

4. Future: that which is to come.

"... let no day pass without discussing goodness
and all other things,
for the unexamined life
is hardly worth living..."

- Socrates

What Time is it?

A Reading from the Tao Te Jing…

In the beginning there was The Tao - the great unknowable mystery.

The Tao gave rise to Yin & Yang. Yin & Yang gave rise to the Ten Thousand Things.

The Tao is like a well: used but never used up.

It is like the eternal universe: filled with infinite possibilities.

In dwelling,
- live close to the ground.
In thinking,
- keep to the simple.
In conflict,
- be fair and generous.
In governing,
- don't try to control.
In work,
- do what you enjoy.
In family life,
- be completely present.
In love,
- don't jump to quick conclusions...
