Revolution? Let's Talk Evolution.

Today celebrates women all over the world! Here in Costa Rica it is none the less, walking hand and hand with my 6 year old cousin- Fernanda (Of course an epic name) my time on a spiritual roundabout continues -and  my guide - which at the moment is "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (ZAMM)" always leads me well. It seems that when I need an answer it guides me through the process of analysis. Thanks Uni.

In Life & Time of ZAMM: The perplexing topic of the Chautauqua has been Quality in it's undefinable existence. Yes, this is perplexing - in life & in theory. What is quality? Do we know it when we see it? What defines it? The observer or the object? Does it exist without one or the other? How is quality measurable?

Is Quality "just" what you like? And is this an arbitrary way to make decisions?

What does this undefinable quality have to do with me? Well, making decisions can often be, well...difficult. It relates to this quality idea. Here I am in Costa Rica - unsure of which direction in paradise I will go. Funny how when opportunity presents itself - it can often be the guise of a zillion brilliant ideas. It is a simple decision really, where would I "like" to go. But as in the definition of what is quality - it is "just" what you like - the idea of doing something - anything because you like loses it's luster in the "just", as in romantic emotional desire is less spectacular in the rational picture of how the greater reality would be effected. Am I making the "right" decision by "just" doing what I want?

Well, I am going to do what I like. Cause gosh damn it that's all that there is. I am going to go hang out on the beach and pontificate for awhile, other opportunities will have to wait.  And as I think of my jump roping grandmother who LIKES my TATTOOS I am reminded that we live but once, that we remember, if it is an important opportunity it will reappear - the universe will make sure of that. And we must lead by example, so that is EVOLUTION of human-kind keeps on keeping on. We are all active agents in the raising of our evolution, one youngster at a time doing what they like - QUALITY.

P.S.- It good to have reminders but everyday is women's day & men's day - celebrate each other - love & honor each other, cause it feels good.
