it's been a great day
the day was not unlike any other.
workout, read, think...
not necessarily in that order.
i'm now finding myself very reminiscent of the past fleeting moments & am yearning to bat them back down from the air, so that i might collect them for future ploddings. funny thing is, that these moments of reflection are filled w/value due to a pretty eclectic collection of readings. 1 day may be very like another, but this 1 stands out...at least for now.
i was working my way through an article on josh ritter in my newly subscribed to paste magazine when i came across some very tasty food for thought. he also dropped a quote within the contents that hasn't lingered far from my thoughts since they were given life in my own very limited reality. josh states that 1 of his favorite quotes is from theresa of avila--'all the way to heaven is heaven.'
he goes on...
if you're looking for heaven you can find it here, and you can work for heaven on earth. and if you're looking for hell, it's easy to get there, too, on earth.
......
josh knows that though he's been blessed with a job he loves and is able to do it alongside people he loves, all is not right with the world. he knows that until we go beyond fighting about the specifics of religion or politics, if we don't start looking for ways to bring heaven into the everyday, we're soon going to be looking at hell on earth.

next it's time to pick cam up from school, so i make sure to bring along my current si to serve as filler time between the time we actually arrive in line to get him, until they let 'em out & we're on our way. there's an interesting article titled the meaning of roberto clemente that catches my eye, but not enough to devote more time than enough to skim the high parts. the subtext already has me somewhat as it states to understand why roberto has so many things (40 schools, 2 hospitals & scores of parks & ball fields, from puerto rico to pittsburgh) carrying his name, you have to know how he died.
i'm familiar w/the story & his prowess on the field, but i come across a piece of the article that really ices the day for me. it's not really a quote, but it should be & probably is somewhere unbeknownst to my idiotic self. the man's been dead since '72 & still we remember.
sounds like words to live by to me...
if you can make life better for others and you fail to do so, clemente believed, you are wasting your time on earth.
wow...
