I looked over at my mom, who had her arms crossed and her head down like nothing was happening. I screamed "Mom! What is wrong with you? We are going to DIE!", to which she replied" "OK, well, see how stupid you look? Do you want to die looking stupid like that or do you want to go in peace? If it's our time, nothing will save us from death. All you can do is say some prayers." I will never forget that moment. She was in absolute peace during a state of panic, and remained calm when everyone was screaming and crying after the air masks popped down. She embraces death because she is at such peace with herself and it made me realize how much work I need to do on myself to reach my mom's level. Deeply appreciating everything you have is the biggest step to get there. My brother and I just got through reading the last blog and the "sexual repression" blog together. It's so great to be able to share your viewpoints with family. =) PS love that strawberry turtle picture!

Aya told me about this website, and I thought I'd check it out. That last article you posted was really great, and I'll be sure to remember it. These articles really thought provoking, and I can learn a lot from them. Keep posting sensei, and I'll keep reading. - Salam Hey Eric! Aya told me about this website, and I thought I’d check it out.

It's also a fine balance between the hippie-ish "Just be in the Now! Yay!", yet still being realistic enough to engage the world. Especially with what you and I know about the true state of the economy, and where global power is heading, it's important, now more than ever, to really do what you love to do. You never know when you won't have the chance to anymore. Take care, man. Strong work on the blog! -Eric Good stuff, Eric!
