On joy

February 23, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

Kelowna, BC Joy in the present moment from the vernacular body: “Joy is not ‘perfect circumstances.’ If it were, joy would never come. This is joy: going to the woods, seeing flags play in the wind, contemplating the snow and the setting sun. This is joy: rising to the top of a hillock in an abandoned landscape, and being surprised by the sight of a red-haired jogger lying on her back making a snow angel. This: laughter splashing about in the dark.” Thanks to the cassandra pages for the link.

Hunter S. Thompson’s political legacy

February 22, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

Kelowna, BC John Nichols writes in Tha Nation about Hunter S. Thompson’s political legacy, the one that came from his stab at municipal politics in Colorado in the 1970s. It’s a good piece that expands Thompson’s influence beyond the bat-filled skies of the Nevada desert and the dwindling expense accounts of Saigon towards a politics in which political outsiders seize control of the power structure by the radical act of voting. Although Thompson never won the race for sheriff of Pitkin County, he set a standard and a way forward that was mimicked elsewhere in the United States resulting in …

Facilitator as warrior

February 21, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

George Nemeth, Jack Ricchiuto and I got into a Skype chat earlier this evening about holding space. George later linked to this list of the precepts of a Buddhist warrior. It’s amazing. Here’s a sample: Have compassion for all beings, causing them no unnecessary hurt, nor needless harm. Refrain from needless competitiveness, from contriving for self-advantage, and from subjugating others. When accepting authority over others, know also that you accept responsibility for their well being. Value true friendship, and fulfill your obligations, rather than striving with egotistical motive. Seek liberation from the negative passions of hatred, envy, greed and rage, …

Harnessing the volunteer

February 21, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized One Comment

My dad is a smart guy (although he doesn’t blog enough!). His has been retired for a few years now, having paid his dues in middle management in the insurance business with a short stint in the provincial public service. As a retiree he has been more than active in his community in Ontario, building bridges on the Bruce Trail, chairing his local library board and generally being an active citizen in his village. He has picked up a fair amount of wisdom over the years, and among his favourite observations is that every human endeavour, whether for profit or …

I broke Firefox

February 21, 2005 By Chris Uncategorized

Help! I love Firefox. But today as I was surfing, I closed it down and it crashed. When I went to restart it, it refused to start up and instead offered to tell Micrsoift about the problem. So after trying that a few times, I thought I might take this chance to upgrade to 1.0. Downloaded that and did it, all set up, but get the same launch problem. It just won’t open. Decide to do an uninstall. Get rid of all the versions (except that 0.9 now can’t find an uninstall directory) and I scrubbed the registry even of …
