Well, the post Ike power was just restored in Bloomington

But, from lemons...sweet lemonade is made!

After last night's ride, with no power, it was easy to justify going to bed early...by 8:30.

As I often do, I woke up about 3:30 AM. But this time, there was no computer, no TV, no light, no ticking clocks, no traffic noise...nothing....

So, I listened to the silence...and it's amazing what you hear in the whisper of silence

To those of you who are Type A like me, I challenge you to try it.

This is not really mediatation (which usually involves a focus) but a true emtiness that enables you to process truths that the static of modern life keeps you from processing.
