things i love about today

• walking back to my office as slowly as possible to enjoy the warm sun and fresh air
• eating lunch outside
• 80 degree days in March in Cleveland
• passing by one of the libraries/museums on campus my way to the office and being able to smell the books from outside
• the trees that are budding, almost ready to burst with color and the green pushing it's way up through the black earth
• taking a walk last night with Robert
• the feel of tree bark - whether it's smooth or rough

Spring really is quite good.

Peace be with you today - be outside

barbarians

"...war does not simply bring death and destruction to those immediately involved. It also makes barbarians of us all. It makes people think of the immoral as necessary and evil acts as desirable." - Mano Singham
