Could March begin more beautifully? Secret Mountain appearing in the shadows is a treat. Blue skies, red rocks. It makes one stop and appreciate just what beauty there is all around.

Rolling along the asphalt surrounded by trucks desert scrub telephone poles endless wires jagged distant peaks. Encapsulated in the car climate control music satellite radio. Secure but tech dependent.

Last chance

a wall of panko and sake

The backdrop for tonight's sushi chefs at Katsuya. Lighting highlighting the shine of cold fresh fresh fish; the taste and feel of stickyrice, wasabi, soy, crispy onions; laughter, sharing, crazy conversation, 3 of 4 of us snapping photos during dinner.

The party being seated behind us were concerned about being too near the entrance - because of possible paparazzi...we didn't recognize any of them & doubted any photographers were lying in wait.

"You Reading This, Be Ready"

William Stafford

Starting here, what do you want to remember? How sunlight creeps along a shining floor? What scent of old wood hovers, what softened sound from outside fills the air?

Will you ever bring a better gift for the world than the breathing respect that you carry wherever you go right now? Are you waiting for time to show you some better thoughts?

When you turn around, starting here, lift this new glimpse that you found; carry into evening all that you want from this day. This interval you spent reading or hearing this, keep it for life-

What can anyone give you greater than now, starting here, right in this room, when you turn around?
