REVISED: So feels like spring today, Friday... in the mid - 50s. On Wednesday, had those BIG spring snowflakes, and it's due to snow on Sunday night.
Here're children catching snowflakes on their tongues.
My kiddo in the orange and navy:
I'm jealous of Rxb-Samadhi and Lindsay-Rebel Rebel because they get to be in Austin... SXSW

Just saw this.... I'm going to have to look into this group called OK Go.

...then decided to delete it.
(all about watching Edward Sissorhands for the first time, and then relating what the actors/director/writer had commented on the extra materials on the DVD, and how this all related to what's going on with my son and decisions right now when one has a special needs child. Edward's creator invented him from a "cookie-heart"...) (If you care to read about some of my thoughts lately... you can go to the Open Forum on Message boards and the Silly Things post by Avagadro in mid February and my second really long response to her :)
Earth and cressent moon on big toes.
Peace,K

From I Heard God Laughing - Renderings of Hafiz
Beautiful Empty Pages (by Hafiz c. 1320-1389)
What Kind of work
Can I do in this world?
Who would be kind enough
To hire an old holy Bum,
One with a great reputation
For loving the charms
Of the lawless
And the wild artists and the lewd?
Maybe I could become a poet.
Maybe the Beloved
Will make my love so Pure
That He will come to sit upon
All my Beautiful empty pages,
And when you come to look at them,
He might kick you
With His Beautiful Divine Foot.
OR HOW ABOUT.....
Forever Dance
(by Hafiz 1320-1389)
I am happy even before I have a reason.
I am full of Light even before the sky
Can greet the sun or the moon.
Dear companions,
We have been in love with God
For so very, very long.
What can Hafiz now do but Forever
Dance!
"Let's Dance! Put on your red shoes and Dance!..."
Happy Valentine's Day bnetters... come Sunday.
I finally got myself ....
YEA!!!
How am I doing? I guess I'm letting go of my new layer of anger at the turkeys (i.e. right wing Christians who think Jesus' message apparently is to build up the military, kill and judge people who are not Christians or who are not American).
In Hafiz' time, he had to see his teacher/guru/practice in secrecy, because the waves of fanatical fundamentalism in medieval Persia considered it blasphemy to suggest that any human being could attain perfection or approach direct knowledge of divinity.
Not much has changed in 700 years. 
+++++
I have decided to only own 5 DVDs.... so far I have 4... what would you suggest as the fifth?
1) Rust Never Sleeps (concert DVD 1978) - Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Half the concert is acoustic; the other half electric, and he turns from a child into a man--and there are "Road-eyes" on stage, which are like Jedi's (when Star Wars first came out).
2) Concert For George (concert one year after George Harrison's passing)
Tremendous Indian orchestra with Anoushka Shankar playing sitar, and all George's friends playing his songs.
3) Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Motion Picture 30th Anniversary
Because the church of man, love, is such a holy place to be.
4) Living Luminaries (documentary) - On the Serious Business of Happiness
Very, very cool.... from an interview with an ex-Black Panther; Eckhart Tolle; a Rabbi call The Surfing Rabbi; and many others.
5) ?
Peace,
-K
