Be fearless

I'm happy to be in this place, where I can apply to things outside of law and not feel like my life would collapse, like I'll be taken advantage of so easily, where I've almost built enough of a range of skill sets that I won't starve living on glass and design work. The future is open.

I've been doing more bikram yoga, and I think the practice really changes your sense of focus. I'm still feeling around my desk for the escape hatch, and I'm coming pretty close. The possibilities are open. In bikram, the class ends and you're laying on the floor in the dark; it's one hundred and five degrees in the room and you are feeling a bit broken. The teacher talks about breath and focus, one read a passage, and told us all to be fearless, that fear is apposite to creation. I'm the opposite of the new age type, but this is valid.

Things I heard today while listening to podcasts

Karen Lamonte, on why she is interested in the figure:


"The human body is the one thing everyone has in common."

Also, paraphrasing with regard to the Bush’s commentary on the Second Amendment case in the Supreme Court today:


"He’s seated at the little kid’s table at the constitutional issues party."
