Thoughts for the Day

That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn. - Hillel the Elder

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. - Viktor E. Frankl

Last night was the Hatebreed show (#105) at the Roseland Theater, in Portland. They were the headliner, coming after three other death metal bands, and then after Cannibal Corpse. That means about six hours of head-banging, screaming, and rage. I went with a friend and we were first row, center stage - and I managed to keep her there safely, despite presses, sweeps, pushes, pulls, and crowdsurfing. I got a lot of practice redirecting and denying other people's energy. I have bruises and sore muscles like I've been in a sparring tournament. Sometimes life is a dojo.
