Did You Ever Notice That Molly Kind of Rhymes With Ali?

Star Quote from Pedro Paramo

"The sky was crowded with fat, swollen stars. The moon had come out for a little while and then vanished. It was one of those sad moons that nobody looks at or even notices. It hung there for a little while, pale and disfigured, and then hid itself behind the mountains." -Juan Rulfo

The Impossible 4 Minute Mile

While I was in Michigan a couple of weeks ago I had a short visit with my friends, Jack and Laurie. Laurie was telling me about an important moment in her youth, hearing her dad tell about the 4 minute mile. It had been said that it couldn't be done. But once the first person accomplished it, then many others also ran 4 minute miles. Once the idea that it couldn't be done was proven false, it was as if people were then free to accomplish the feat. I don't remember how she phrased it, but basically she said the lesson was "just do it." Don't sit around discussing whether a thing is possible or not, just do it. This is coming from a woman who helped found Zeitouna, a group of Arab and Jewish women coming together to create a dialogue and work towards peace.

the floating, i have a pretty good handle on that...

at and times my stinging is not bad, but the synchronicity is off. and so then do i work on the floating and perfect that, then move to stinging with the benefits of the newly buffed up floating? or do i dig into the stinging and get that up to speed, and then go after the synchonization? do i randomly work on floating or stinging as the mood arises? or do i put myself on a strict floating and stinging regimen? tough questions, but this is what star wranglin' is all about.

Floating and stinging...

floating and stinging, that is what it is pretty much all about for me. But i want to be better at it. I want more time to practice.

Stole this while blog-hopping:

To attract good fortune, spend a new coin on an old friend, share an old pleasure with a new friend, and lift up the heart of a true friend by writing his name on the wings of a dragon.
