Goals Update

Today, after a great day geocaching, I saw a performance of Desert Voices, Arizona's GLBT and supportive others chorus (#105). Truly a highlight of the time spent in Tucson! Amazon has recovered pretty well, and I'll be rolling for Texas this morning, the last leg of the journey. I've made a few good friends here, and reconnected with people who are significant in my life.

The Work/Bhakti (#107) began about an hour ago. To know is to act.

Quote of the Day

OH COFFEE, YOU DISPEL THE WORRIES OF THE GREAT, you point the way to those who have wandered from the path of knowledge. Coffee is the drink of the friends of God, and of His servants who seek wisdom. As coffee steeps in the cup it gives off a musky aroma and turns the colour of ink. No one can understnad the truth until he drinks of its frothy goodness. Those who condemn coffee as causing man harm are fools in the eyes of God. Coffee is the common man's gold, and like gold it brings to every man the feeling of luxury and nobility. Coffee differs from pure, gentle milk only in its taste and colour. Take time in your preparation of coffee and [Bob] will be with you and bless you and your table. Where coffee is served there is grace and splendour and friendship and happiness. All cares vanish as the coffee cup is raised to the lips. Coffee flows through your body as freely as your life's blood, refreshing all that it touches; look you at the youth and vigour of those who drink it. Whoever tastes coffee will forever forswear the liquor of the grape. Oh drink of God's glory, your purity brings to man only well being and nobility. - Sheik Ansari Djezeri Hanball Abd-al-Kadir, 1857
