Humility


These pictures were taken a little over a year ago in Northern Thailand. I am not Thai, I do not speak Thai, nor am I in any authority on Thai culture yet there is something about this simple hand gesture which I find reminicent to a bow in Japan (as my father illustrates below). A beautifully unpretentious, unobtrusive, unembellished and unspoken means of communication.

Its refreshing to live in a place where proving somebody else's self worth is more conventional than proving your own.

Gore's stand up routine
For 5 minutes and 51 seconds, Gore is actually funny. There is just something captivating in witnessing a seemingly mundane person attempt humor.
Education system: modern day guillotine?
Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?
"For how can we condemn something that is ephermeral, in transit? In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine."
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera)
He is my favorite speaker to date. Smart and unwittingly funny. Best of all, a great story teller.

Kapalua Plantation Course (Maui, Hawaii)



Addressing the Ball
My father and I just returned from a week of intense golf. My fingers are cramped into an open face grip, the crushed bones in my pinky and ring finger are coated with hardened blisters, and the blazing sun left a scorching outline of a polo shirt and golf shorts onto my body. Though my father's dream of his daughter becoming a pro golfer will probably never actualize, I have lasting images of perfect greens and brilliant blues.
