An incredible video (and vimeo Staff Pick) made by a recent Middlebury grad. So many things I could say, but I'll let Asa do the talking. 

SHARK-NADO!!!

Also in the spirit of creativity?

Oh Devendra, how you melt my Hart

It's just one of those days for embracing wild and free spirited creativity...

a few wise words on language

"If you don't like nouns becoming verbs than for heavens sake avoid Shakespeare who made a thing-word into a doing-word every change he got...it's only ugly because it's new and you don't like it. Ugly the way Picasso, Stravinsky and Eliot were once thought ugly."

The Happy Virus

I caught the happy virus last night

When I was out singing beneath the stars.

It is remarkably contagious -

So kiss me.

A Great Need

Out

Of a great need

We are all holding hands

And climbing.

Not loving is a letting go.

Listen,

The terrain around here

Is

Far too

Dangerous

For

That.

Why Not Be Polite?

Everyone

Is God speaking.

Why not be polite and

Listen to

Him?

The Journey

Where am I going on this wonderful journey?

To your house, of course!

A little Rilke for a rainy day

I live my life in widening circles

that reach out across the world.

I may not complete this last one

but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.

I've been circling for thousands of years

and I still don't know: am I a falcon,

a storm, or a great song?

-Rainer Maria Rilke

50 Problems in 50 days

a j term return

"today"

today i'm flying low and i'm
not saying a word.
i'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep.

the world goes on as it must,
the bees in the garden rumbling a little,
the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten.
and so forth.

but i'm taking the day off.
quiet as a feather.
i hardly move though really i'm traveling
a terrific distance.

stillness. one of the doors
into the temple.
