This one gots out to my internet friend Raffaello Palandri — somewhere in Chicago you have a fan so big they named a building after you! I know how much you like to take pictures of interesting buildings in Germany — this one is for you…
You can get this beautiful dish at Oberweis! Chocolate peanut butter ice cream, topped with Reese’s peanut butter cup pieces and peanut butter sauce, served in a chocolate dipped waffle bowl. Chicago area only!
What we see is not the most important. Could dust rise without the invisible hand of the wind? Could a fan turn without any current? Could lungs breathe without breath? Tell me What is the shape of Love? How much does joy weigh when held in the palm of your hand? Can you catch the Spirit of Life in a jar? All things seen depend upon the Unseen. All sounds depend upon Silence. All things felt depend upon what is not felt. Adyashanti
Conventional approaches to passion say that over time it will eventually morph into something calmer. New relationship research on long-term couples this turns wisdom on its head: Can Passionate Love Survive the Test of Time?

Or should I say “Alles Gute zum Geburtstag”? Either way you would most likely scoff. You’re always on the list whenever someone asks who are the 3 people you’d like to have dinner with but I’m afraid that somehow you wouldn’t like me because I’m a syncophant or some such thing. In any case, your birthday seems to be a great time to thank the Universe for you and your body of work. I’m sorry I didn’t have the courage to finish my doctorate and dedicate a lifetime to analyzing your work! (btw, you can find every post I’ve ever written about Hesse here.)

Here’s the science behind happy relationships! Dr. Gottman outlines the findings, tools and techniques that have helped thousands of couples from around the world build a “Sound Relationship House.”
I highly recommend relationship content from The Gottman Institute as being very insightful and practical. I also recommend this book for someone looking for a quick overview of their content…
“One sunny afternoon, when he wasn’t feeling well, Jobs sat in the garden behind his house and reflected on death. He talked about his experiences in India almost four decades earlier, his study of Buddhism, and his views on reincarnation and spiritual transcendence. “I’m about fifty-fifty on believing in God,” he said. “For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye.” He admitted that, as he faced death, he might be overestimating the odds out of a desire to believe in an afterlife. “I like to think that something survives after you die,” he said. “It’s strange to think that you accumulate all this experience, and maybe a little wisdom, and it just goes away. So I really want to believe that something survives, that maybe your consciousness endures.” He fell silent for a very long time. “But on the other hand, perhaps it’s like an on-off switch,” he said. “Click! And you’re gone.” Then he paused again and smiled slightly. “Maybe that’s why I never liked to put on-off switches on Apple devices.””

Friends Good Will is a replica of a top sail merchant sloop that plied the waters of the Great Lakes in the early 19th century. She is the Museum’s flagship and sails from her home port of South Haven daily in the height of summer. Staff and volunteer crew, dressed in period clothes, offer passengers a glimpse into the life and operations of a Great Lakes sailor. Passengers may even have the opportunity to assist the crew as they set off on a traditional tall ship adventure on Lake Michigan.
Friends Good Will offers historical sails, pirate chaser sails, sunset sails, and even acts as a classroom for school groups to learn about early Michigan history and the Great Lakes. Occasionally, she will voyage to other ports for festivals and events. She makes an annual trip to Holland, Michigan during Tulip Time to offer dockside tours above and below decks to visitors: Friends Good Will
