leaping.

“today is an ephemeral ghost…

a strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not “exist.”

in mundane terms, it marks a “leap” in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up!

but this day holds another secret—it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability…

a day of unlocked potential.

will you or won’t you? should you or shouldn’t you?

use this day to do something daring, extraordinary and unlike yourself. 

take a chance and shape a different pattern in your personal cloud of probability!”

after sledding on a beautiful snow day

grandies and neighbors

gather around the table

to share a large pot

of ramen, laughs, and stories.

 class bakery day

 the children worked

very hard

over the last few weeks

learning

about bread

about baking

how sharing bread is a way to welcome others

 every culture makes and eats and shares bread

listened to books about bread and baking

practiced ‘baking’ with play-dough

baked real lemon bread at school

baked breads at home

bought breads at the store

made signs and decorated tables

learned about buying and selling using pennies

gave other classes pennies

that they had to ‘earn’ by working in their rooms

invited other classes, faculty, staff, and families

to come to our room for a big bakery event

said they would give pennies or free bread

to anyone who had no money or food

families supported their efforts

making this day so special

 everyone went home

very full, very tired, very happy.

the bakery in full swing

“anyone who gives you a cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven is a friend for life.”

quick check-in, not so quick check-out.

Posted on by

during my recent visit to apple

i asked to sign up for a class

where i could ask questions

about my laptop

i was given this card to use to signup

after a quick scroll down and some box checking

i was registered for a weekend class

then

my cold took over

 i needed to cancel

i used the card again

thought it would be an easy fix

but the only options i could find

were to confirm i was coming

or

to sign up for another class

i tried to call the store

but no one answered the phone

called the 1-800 number

but it redirected me to cancel

by using the same method i already was using

i decided that when i actually do make it to a class

my first question will be:

“how does someone cancel their attendance at your class?”
