Play Time

Here’s a nice little quote for the day:

“…play in its purest form is not entertainment, or business, or emotional escape, but an entry into sacred space. It suspends the world about us, perhaps for deeper or more joyful entry into that world. It is an engagement, often light-hearted enough, with the mystery of being.”

Anthony Esolen (with attribution to Johan Huizinga)

The role of play in my spiritual walk has been fundamental. In fact, the first retreat I ever led was called Holy Play. Thanks Anthony.

Pocket Planetarium

I got an email from the Discovery Store this morning, and I usually don’t even look at them. But today I did and discovered 🙂 this cool device. skyscout.jpg

A SkyScout Handheld Planetarium. Using a GPS tracking system, it identifies your location and then helps you track the celestial objects in your area. Rock! It’s a little steep at $399 but this sure would be a cool thing to have.

Words

A word for the day from one of my favorite poets:

“To find my home in one sentence, concise, as if hammered in metal. Not to enchant anybody. Not to earn a lasting name in posterity. An unnamed need for order, for rhythm, for form, which three words are opposed to chaos and nothingness.”
Czeslaw Milosz

Get the Firefox of Media Players

Built on a from Mozilla cross-platform, Songbird offers a great media alternative for pc, mac and linux alike. I’m testing the .2 preview today, and take a test drive yourself.

Update: I’m lovin’ it!!! It’s a music player and a browser: not to mention a media search center, social networking portal and a floor wax!
