Thursday, October 30, 2008 ( 12:37 PM ) shut up christine i am never not in awe of you...
last thursday just before midnight i glanced to my left and 4 of my friends were sitting around a laptop, engrossed in thought. they had spent the last 50 minutes carefully choosing words. so much care went into these 4 simple sentences:
The volunteers at Seva Cafe came here for one reason: to serve others. Thank you for this opportunity.
Your meal tonight was a gift from a previous guest. If you wish to continue the circle of giving, you may do so with this envelope.
on saturday i looked over at Naga and he was running up and down the cheese aisle, blowing on his hands to stay warm (they keep the freezer room at Restaurant Depot really cold) i will always remember this.
on wed i spent 5 hours reconciling our finance registry, item by item, again and again. i still cant figure out why we are off by $6.17
i'm going back to work (for real this time). when prospective employers ask me what i've been doing and why i haven't worked in the last year and 4 months, these are the things that come to mind first: jumping up and down in cheese aisles and failing miserably at number crunching :)
i hope someone will hire me. crossing my fingers
ps my friend Rahul made this video! Karmacy is the group that headlined our benefit concert last june. this song is from their album Wooden Bling. listen to the lyrics
"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something."
-Last words of Pancho Villa
I am a pencil
ready to write
my life
-Jessica, 4th grade
I Open My Eyes
Take The Crusts Out
Stretch Myself And Check (If I Haven’t)
Returned Again And Everything Is Okay
Still There Is Something Missing
Like All The Walls
