On The Road.

A Collection of Contemplations, Cogitations, and Considerations from D.H.F.

"Working on a time gone wrong. And I don't believe in no-win scenarios."

Your real nature is one perfect, free, and actionless consciousness, the all-pervading witness - unattached to anything, desireless, at peace. It is illusion that you seem to be involved in any other matter. - Astavakra Gita

—

At times when you face your own indecision or your own faults or your own imaginary barriers that you have built you simply need to get in touch with your true self.  You need to speak and listen to your heart.  You need to reconnect with the part of you that still looks at life with child’s eyes.

For that part of you will always know the way.

It’s times like this where I wish I was a poet.

Anis Mojgani - “I’m 30 years old, and I’m trying to figure out most days what being a man means.  I don’t drink, fight or love but these days I find myself wanting to do all three.  And I don’t really have a favorite color anymore but I did when I was a kid.  And back then that color was blue.”

Change is the only thing that stays the same. R.I.P., the movie camera: 1881-2011 An article at the moviemaking technology website Creative Cow reports that the three major manufacturers of motion picture film cameras — Aaton, ARRI and Panavision — have all ceased production of new cameras within the last year, and will only make digital movie cameras from now on.  As the article’s author, Debra Kaufman, poignantly puts it, “Someone, somewhere in the world is now holding the last film camera ever to roll off the line.” Photo: Kubrick on the set of Dr. Strangelove

I love this movie.

“…loving you madly to nothing at all.”

The universe is a vast system of exchange. Every artery of it is in motion, throbbing with reciprocity, from the planet to the rotting leaf. The vapor climbs the sunbeam, and comes back in blessings upon the exhausted herb. The exhalation of the plant is wafted to the ocean. And so goes on the beautiful commerce of nature. And all because of dissimilarity—because no one thing is sufficient in itself, but calls for the assistance of something else, and repays by a contribution in turn.

—E. H. Chapin

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” -JFK Something he himself failed to do as well.  I have always thought this guy was somewhat overrated as a President, but he did know how to use his rhetoric to connect with the spirit of a country. “A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.” - JFK Tru dat.

The Visible Man

An excerpt from one of my favorite writers Chuck Klosterman, though he has an incredibly distinct style and perspective that may not totally click with everyone.  From Grantland (a site that is very hit or miss), this excerpt is from his upcoming novel that he is apparently writing  He wrote Eating the Dinosaur and Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto, which are the only ones of his that I have read so far other than his articles.  

He formerly wrote for GQ and the Washington Post amongst other publications of that ilk though I found him through the sportswriter Bill Simmons, and while Chuck may not make much sense half the time and he’s being completely stupid the other half of the time, he definitely will make you think.

“For when the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes—not that you won or lost—but how you played the Game.” - Grantland Rice
