Kahil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet’October 8

“In the depth of your hopes and desires

lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow

your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. “

“Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top,

then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs,

then shall you truly dance. “

A good friend sent me those passages from Kahil Gibran’s ‘The Prophet‘ when he learned of my father’s death. He explained to me that there were many life moments, good and bad, in which reading that book gave him comfort. This passage is most fitting for the life moment that I was experiencing and, if you believe this passage to be true, then it is more comforting.

It’s funny, the different ways that we cope. My mother ‘visits’ my Dad (his grave site) everyday. I, on the other hand, haven’t been back since I took her a couple of weeks ago. For some reason, it doesn’t bring me comfort. I know his body is there but it doesn’t feel li

The Basics of World of WarcraftOctober 5

The Basics.

I thought about writing out an explanation of the basics but anything you want to know about he game you can check out here. WoW does a fantastic job of explaining the game, the differences in the characters and rules of engagement. But, as youâ

LG Washer/Dryer ReviewOctober 4

Before my Dad passed he said he wanted to buy us appliances for our house. Well, even though it was a while ago that he told us that my Mom said she still wanted to get us something from the both of them. How awesome!

So, instead of just showing it off I thought I’d give a little video review on the unit. Enjoy!

Things I didn’t mention in the video:

* A better explanation on why it doesn’t need a vent (the condensing dryer technology).

* In Canada, you can only purchase this from Home Depot. It’s also not on display; you have to ask them about it. And push if they give you a look like you have three heads. The first lady that helped me was pretty skeptical when I asked her about it. Yet, voila, there it was in their computer system.

* The purchase price is around $2500 CAD. In the US it’s about $1500. A mighty big difference if you ask me.

* Here is a link this model at the the LG site.
