Random thoughts from my inbox.

.......moreover, because we were catchers of fish, and not skilled in books, therefore did He also say to us: "I will send you the Spirit, the Paraclete, that He may teach you that which ye know not;" for it is by His gift that we speak those things which ye hear. McLean ignored it. He walked quietly to the base of the stairs, looked up, saw nothing of interest. Risking the flight of his quarry, he called for anyone in the house to come out. Nothing. It was silent as a crypt inside, and the only the dust moved, dancing along the shafts of light. Ken Charles Barger, 47, accidentally shot himself to death in December in Newton, NC Awakening to the sound of a ringing telephone beside his bed, he reached for the phone but grabbed instead a Smith & Wesson .38 Special, which discharged when he drew it to his ear.#0 (Placed in the middle of the Centre for Contemporary Art, the yellow canary was given a very large and comfortable cylindrical white cage, on top of which circuit-boards, a speaker, and a microphone were located.) Take this brother, may it serve you well. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Full on his head discharg'd the pond'rous blow; Down sinks the felon headlong to the ground, The guilty soul flew trembling through the wound. #1 ( A clear Plexiglas disc separated the canary from this equipment, which was wired to the phone system.) FDVDA FVVVX GDDAV VFGXA DXGXX PDAVX GDXVV DXAAV GDAFD GFD. #2 ( In New York, an electrode was placed on the plant's leaf to sense its response to the singing of the bird.) Proceed to next roundabout and turn right again, immediately right onto Warhurst Road and right again into our car park. #3 ( The voltage fluctuation of the plant was monitored through a Macintosh running a software called Interactive Brain-Wave Analyser.) Choice is the name of the value you would like to appear in your email in response to the category. choice is the word or words that you would like to appear next to the fill-in box. #4 ( This information was fed into another Macintosh running MAX, which controlled a MIDI sequencer.) To its shame, it has also become a willing accomplice is yet another assault on the rights of the Kurdish people. I urge you to reconsider the decision. #5 ( The electronic sounds themselves were pre-recorded, but the order and the duration were determined in real time by the plant's response to the singing of the bird.) I returned to the scene the following day to take photographs of the area and to retrieve the missing wheel trims. #6 ( When this work was shown publicly, the bird and the plant interacted for several hours daily.) To Andy, happy birthday from Simon and Tracy. Have a good one!!! #7( Humans interacted with the bird and the plant as well.) Turn to the left, walk to the edge, hop back once and take a running jump to grab the next pillar. Pull up. Walk to the far left corner and line Lara up facing the ledge in front of the doorway beyond. Hop back and take another running jump to the ledge. #8 ( Just by standing next to the plant and the bird, humans immediately altered their behaviour.) I dream of peace and harmony, and sometimes I have visions of how things could be. One day somewhere on a yet unprinted calendar, everyone’s bottle of human frailty will be half full. To reverse mankind’s cynicism and prejudice will bring us to within a heartbeat of our true potential and forward to the new millennium and beyond. Remember my friend London had to burn to rid us of the plague. And the leaves that are green turn to brown. #9( When in close proximity, the interaction was further enhanced by the constantly changing behaviour of the bird and the plant, which responded by singing more [bird], activating more sounds [plant], or by remaining quiet.) As a rule, you want more tomatoes in the gazpacho than anything else. A nice looking gazpacho should have a pretty orange-red colour. In a diverse multi-cultural society it's a shame that the worm can't be turned. When people still die for their colour, the lesson is there to be learned. It was one of those days, when the sky turns grey, and there's a mad hatter rain storm beating down on the streets. You want to drive fast, but the mist from the road and other cars make you think otherwise. That's fine though, there's no need to rush, class can wait. In the fast pitch of another day late to class, the rain tells me to slow down. In 12 absorbing sessions, Kornfield introduces listeners to Buddhism's most basic foundation for mindful living: The Ten Perfections. These Perfections offer immediate answers to challenges faced in daily living. Kornfield presents listeners with meditations and mindfulness techniques to help them open to the higher qualities already rooted in their hearts. We came across the west sea, we didn't have an idea of the kind of climate waiting..........
