I thought this was pretty interesting. I have a thing about giant squid. Actually, let me rephrase that. I have a thing about the deep ocean, which includes giant squid. Is it squid or squids? I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway, the whole point of that was that the ocean is very deep, very mysterious, and could potentially hold things the size of small cities which go around devouring things the size of villages. I find that fascinating.
Here is today's daily tao:
To your hermitage here on the top of the mountain
I have climbed, without stopping, these ten miles.
I have knocked at your door, and no one answered;
I have peeped into your room, at your seat beside the table . . . .
Perhaps you are out riding in your canopied chair;
Or fishing, more likely, in some autumn pool.
Sorry though I am to be missing you,
You have become my meditation -
The beauty of your grasses, fresh with rain,
And close beside your window the music of your pines,
I take into my being all that I see and hear,
Soothing my senses, quieting my heart;
And though there be neither host nor guest,
Have I not reasoned a visit complete?
. . . After enough, I have gone down the mountain,
Why should I wait for you any longer?

So there isn't much going on at the moment. Steph () and I have just been playing a lot of World of Warcraft which i guess is ok for now. I've been thinking about submitting a few of my poems to the poetry society for its National Poetry Competition but I'm not sure if I will. I want to, but I don't think it will come to anything. I definitely want to start entering some of that stuff, though. Someday I might write something good enough to make a dollar…or even 50 cents. I could buy a candy bar or something. Mmmm. Candy.
