My solar battery chargers come in handy in Hawaii. #
I finished Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. #
I started Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. #
I will mix me a drink of stars, –
Large stars with polychrome needles,
Small stars jetting maroon and crimson,
Cool, quiet, green stars. #
I will tear them out of the sky,
And squeeze them over an old silver cup, #
And I will pour the cold scorn of my Beloved into it,
So that my drink shall be bubbled with ice. #
It will lap and scratch
As I swallow it down;
And I shall feel it as a serpent of fire,
Coiling and twisting in my belly. #
His snortings will rise to my head,
And I shall be hot, and laugh,
Forgetting that I have ever known a woman. #

wildernesses of worlds leaving my track on many a star and planet. #
It is the most distant course that comes nearest to thyself, #
and that training is the most intricate which leads to the utter simplicity of a tune. #
The traveler has to knock at every alien door to come to his own, #
and one has to wander through all the outer worlds to reach the innermost shrine at the end. #
My eyes strayed far and wide before I shut them and said `Here art thou!' #

The Poles rode out from Warsaw against the German
Tanks on horses. Rode knowing, in sunlight, with sabers, #
A magnitude of beauty that allows me no peace.
And yet this poem would lessen that day. Question #
The bravery. Say it's not courage. Call it a passion.
Would say courage isn't that. Not at its best. #
It was impossible, and with form. They rode in sunlight,
Were mangled. But I say courage is not the abnormal. #
Not the marvelous act. Not Macbeth with fine speeches.
The worthless can manage in public, or for the moment. #
It is too near the whore's heart: the bounty of impulse,
And the failure to sustain even small kindness. #
Not the marvelous act, but the evident conclusion of being.
Not strangeness, but a leap forward of the same quality. #
Accomplishment. The even loyalty. But fresh.
Not the Prodigal Son, nor Faustus. But Penelope.
The thing steady and clear. #

Then the crescendo.
The real form. The culmination. And the exceeding. #
Not the surprise. The amazed understanding. The marriage,
Not the month's rapture. Not the exception. The beauty #
That is of many days. Steady and clear.
It is the normal excellence, of long accomplishment. #
My twenty-seventh selection for National Poetry Month is The Abnormal Is Not Courage by Jack Gilbert. #NationalPoetryMonth #
What is it to grow old?
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the eye? #
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath?
Yes, but not for this alone. #
Is it to feel our strength—
Not our bloom only, but our strength—decay? #
Is it to feel each limb
Grow stiffer, every function less exact,
Each nerve more weakly strung? #
Yes, this, and more! but not,
Ah, 'tis not what in youth we dreamed 'twould be! #
'Tis not to have our life
Mellowed and softened as with sunset-glow,
A golden day's decline! #
'Tis not to see the world
As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred; #
And weep, and feel the fulness of the past,
The years that are no more! #
It is to spend long days
And not once feel that we were ever young. #
It is to add, immured
In the hot prison of the present, month
To month with weary pain. #
It is to suffer this,
And feel but half, and feebly, what we feel: #
Deep in our hidden heart
Festers the dull remembrance of a change,
But no emotion—none. #
It is—last stage of all—
When we are frozen up within, and quite
The phantom of ourselves, #
To hear the world applaud the hollow ghost
Which blamed the living man. #

With birth and death complete;
I cloister it from care and strife
And keep it sane and sweet. #
With eager eyes I greet the morn,
Exultant as a boy,
Knowing that I am newly born
To wonder and to joy. #
And when the sunset splendours wane
And ripe for rest am I,
Knowing that I will live again,
Exultantly I die. #
O that all Life were but a Day
Sunny and sweet and sane!
And that at Even I might say:
"I sleep to wake again." #

It went many years,
But at last came a knock,
And I though of the door
With no lock to lock. #
I blew out the light,
I tip-toed the floor,
And raised both hands
In prayer to the door. #
But the knock came again.
My window was wide;
I climbed on the sill
And descended outside. #
Back over the sill
I bade a 'Come in'
To whatever the knock
At the door may have been. #
So at a knock
I emptied my cage
To hide in the world
And alter with age. #

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot. #
Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes, #
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet. #
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair. #
Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze. #
Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin, #
not pasted on some other place–

I have met them at close of day
Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among grey
Eighteenth-century houses. #
I have passed with a nod of the head
Or polite meaningless words,
Or have lingered awhile and said
Polite meaningless words, #
And thought before I had done
Of a mocking tale or a gibe
To please a companion
Around the fire at the club, #
Being certain that they and I
But lived where motley is worn:
All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born. #
That woman's days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill.
What voice more sweet than hers #
When, young and beautiful,
She rode to harriers?
This man had kept a school
And rode our winged horse;
This other his helper and friend #
Was coming into his force;
He might have won fame in the end,
So sensitive his nature seemed,
So daring and sweet his thought. #
This other man I had dreamed
A drunken, vainglorious lout.
He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart, #
Yet I number him in the song;
He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy; #
He, too, has been changed in his turn,
Transformed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born. #
Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter seem
Enchanted to a stone
To trouble the living stream. #
The horse that comes from the road.
The rider, the birds that range
From cloud to tumbling cloud,
Minute by minute they change; #
A shadow of cloud on the stream
Changes minute by minute;
A horse-hoof slides on the brim,
And a horse plashes within it; #
The long-legged moor-hens dive,
And hens to moor-cocks call;
Minute by minute they live:
The stone's in the midst of all. #
Too long a sacrifice
Can make a stone of the heart.
O when may it suffice? #
That is Heaven's part, our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come #
On limbs that had run wild.
What is it but nightfall?
No, no, not night but death;
Was it needless death after all? #
For England may keep faith
For all that is done and said.
We know their dream; enough
To know they dreamed and are dead; #
And what if excess of love
Bewildered them till they died?
I write it out in a verse – #
MacDonagh and MacBride
And Connolly and Pearse
Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly: #
A terrible beauty is born. #
My twenty-fourth selection for National Poetry Month is Easter, 1916 by William Butler Yeats. #NationalPoetryMonth #

They wear caps and sweaters,
and one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
They are so happy
they aren't saying anything, these boys. #
I think if they could, they would take
each other's arm.
It's early in the morning,
and they are doing this thing together. #
They come on, slowly.
The sky is taking on light,
though the moon still hangs pale over the water. #
Such beauty that for a minute
death and ambition, even love,
doesn't enter into this. #

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran #
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea. #
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, #
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. #
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted #
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, #
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst #
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever #
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, #
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far #
Ancestral voices prophesying war! #
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure #
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice! #
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played, #
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me #
That with music loud and long
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there, #
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice, #
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise. #

Bridges of iron lace,
A suddenness of trees,
A lap of mountain mist
All cross my line of sight, #
Then a bleak wasted place,
And a lake below my knees.
Full on my neck I feel
The straining at a curve; #
My muscles move with steel,
I wake in every nerve. #
I watch a beacon swing
From dark to blazing bright;
We thunder through ravines
And gullies washed with light. #
Beyond the mountain pass
Mist deepens on the pane;
We rush into a rain
That rattles double glass. #
Wheels shake the roadbed stone,
The pistons jerk and shove,
I stay up half the night
To see the land I love. #

In the shadow of the grave
I will be brave;
I'll smile,–I know I will
E'er I be still;
Because I will not smile
So long a while. #
But I'll be sad, I fear,
And shed a tear,
For those I love and leave
My loss to grieve:
'Tis just their grief I'll grieve,
Believe, believe. #
Not for myself I care
As forth I fare;
But for those left behind
Wae is my mind
Knowing how they will miss
My careless kiss. #
Oh I'll be brave when I
Shall come to die;
With courage I will quaff
The Cup and laugh,
Aye, even mock at Death
With failing breath. #
It is not those who go
Who suffer woe;
But stricken ones who bide
By cold bedside:
God comfort you who keep
Watch by my sleep! #

Why should not old men be mad?
Some have known a likely lad
That had a sound fly-fisher's wrist
Turn to a drunken journalist; #
A girl that knew all Dante once
Live to bear children to a dunce;
A Helen of social welfare dream,
Climb on a wagonette to scream. #
Some think it a matter of course that chance
Should starve good men and bad advance, #
That if their neighbours figured plain,
As though upon a lighted screen, #
No single story would they find
Of an unbroken happy mind,
A finish worthy of the start.
Young men know nothing of this sort, #
Observant old men know it well;
And when they know what old books tell
And that no better can be had,
Know why an old man should be mad. #

Lift your thin hands for some

Poor muddling commonplace, #
You sailors who must live
Unstarred by hopelessness,
We share a single face.

Well, I assembled my Shop Fox dust collector in the garage. Now to run pipe… #
McKenzie and I are watching Kiki's Delivery Service. #
So winter closed its fist
And got it stuck in the pump.
The plunger froze up a lump #
In its throat, ice founding itself
Upon iron. The handle
Paralysed at an angle. #
Then the twisting of wheat straw
into ropes, lapping them tight
Round stem and snout, then a light #
That sent the pump up in a flame
It cooled, we lifted her latch,
Her entrance was wet, and she came. #

Hidden, oh hidden
in the high fog
the house we live in,
beneath the magnetic rock,
rain-, rainbow-ridden, #
where blood-black
bromelias, lichens,
owls, and the lint
of the waterfalls cling,
familiar, unbidden. #
In a dim age
of water
the brook sings loud
from a rib cage
of giant fern; vapor #
climbs up the thick growth
effortlessly, turns back,
holding them both,
house and rock,
in a private cloud. #
At night, on the roof,
blind drops crawl
and the ordinary brown
owl gives us proof
he can count: #
five times–always five–
he stamps and takes off
after the fat frogs that,
shrilling for love,
clamber and mount. #
House, open house
to the white dew
and the milk-white sunrise
kind to the eyes, #
to membership
of silver fish, mouse,
bookworms,
big moths; with a wall
for the mildew's
ignorant map; #
darkened and tarnished
by the warm touch
of the warm breath,
maculate, cherished; #
rejoice! For a later
era will differ.
(O difference that kills
or intimidates, much
of all our small shadowy
life!) Without water #
the great rock will stare
unmagnetized, bare,
no longer wearing
rainbows or rain, #
the forgiving air
and the high fog gone;
the owls will move on
and the several
waterfalls shrivel
in the steady sun. #

I knew it the first of the summer,
I knew it the same at the end,
That you and your love were plighted,
But couldn’t you be my friend? #
Couldn’t we sit in the twilight,
Couldn’t we walk on the shore
With only a pleasant friendship
To bind us, and nothing more? #
There was not a word of folly
Spoken between us two,
Though we lingered oft in the garden
Till the roses were wet with dew. #
We touched on a thousand subjects –
The moon and the worlds above,-
And our talk was tinctured with science,
And everything else, save love. #
A wholly Platonic friendship
You said I had proven to you
Could bind a man and a woman
The whole long season through, #
With never a thought of flirting,
Though both were in their youth,
What would you have said, my lady,
If you had known the truth! #
What would you have done, I wonder,
Had I gone on my knees to you
And told you my passionate story,
There in the dusk and the dew? #
My burning, burdensome story,
Hidden and hushed so long –
My story of hopeless loving –
Say, would you have thought it wrong? #
But I fought with my heart and conquered,
I hid my wound from sight;
You were going away in the morning,
And I said a calm goodnight. #
But now when I sit in the twilight,
Or when I walk by the sea
That friendship, quite Platonic,
Comes surging over me. #
And a passionate longing fills me
For the roses, the dusk, the dew;
For the beautiful summer vanished,
For the moonlight walks – and you. #

Today as the news from Selma and Saigon
poisons the air like fallout,
I come again to see
the serene, great picture that I love. #
Here space and time exist in light
the eye like the eye of faith believes. #
The seen, the known
dissolve in iridescence, become
illusive flesh of light
that was not, was, forever is. #
O light beheld as through refracting tears.
Here is the aura of that world
each of us has lost.
Here is the shadow of its joy. #

Thinking about organizing a BarCamp. #
O ME! O life!… of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish; #
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more
faithless?) #
Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever
renew’d; #
Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me; #
Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined; #
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? #
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse. #

to look at the sky and pray to God, #
and to wonder long before evening
to tire my superfluous worries. #
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops #
I compose happy verses
about life's decay, decay and beauty. #
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly
and the fire flares bright
on the saw-mill turret by the lake. #
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear. #

Widely spaced bells, ringing in the wind,
And climbed through mists to rosy clouds. #
I realized my destined affinity
With An Ch'i-sheng the ancient sage.
I met unexpectedly O Lu-hua
The heavenly maiden. #
Together we saw lotus roots as big as boats.
Together we ate jujubes as huge as melons.
We were the guests of those on swaying lotus seats. #
They spoke in splendid language,
Full of subtle meanings.
The argued with sharp words over paradoxes.
We drank tea brewed on living fire. #
Although this might not help the Emperor to govern,
It is endless happiness.
The life of men could be like this. #
Why did I have to return to my former home,
Wake up, dress, sit in meditation.
Cover my ears to shut out the disgusting racket. #
My heart knows I can never see my dream come true.
At least I can remember
That world and sigh. #

Minh-Kiet Callies — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 18:13:38 +0000

Over these last few weeks, I have been watching with fascination and horror the events unfolding in Wisconsin, like a bad accident you cannot turn away from. In my advancing age, though not a part of an union, I have come to appreciate the role of unions in the workplace.

When I was young, I abused my body, aware that my youth could absorb such harsh treatment. Get it out of your system now, I told myself. You’ll not be able to maintain this pace forever. I often found myself frustrated by the inflexibility of other employees not doing what it takes to get the job done.

Now, I know I cannot physically maintain that reckless pace of my youth. Gone are the twenty hour work days, weeks without a day off, and I have shifted my strategy to working smarter, maximizing any efficiency. I am positioning myself to utilize and maximize my mental facilities into old age.

Retirement, in the traditional sense, will be an antiquated notion when it comes my time, and I recognize that I need to establish a skill set that will support me when a youthful back and knees will no longer. Work will be a lifetime occupation for me, but hopefully, I’m lucky enough to be able prepare for this inevitable future.

Age discrimination, despite it’s illegality, is a reality in the workplace. Businesses are often myopic to the value of the experience older workers can provide to their organizations and are often quick to replace older workers with younger, cheaper employees who make up for their inexperience with their flexibility. Older workers share some of this burden as they naturally become set in their ways, less able to adapt to new conditions.

In my aging perspective, unions provide some protection from this type of discrimination, and though not always just and righteous in providing this protection, they provide it none the less.

Minh-Kiet Callies — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 16:45:40 +0000

Time is passing, and I feel crunched. There is still much to accomplish, and for the first time, I realize that I will run out of time to complete my self-imposed to-do list. Even the composition of this post is gnawing me as an ill use of my time.

Experts say that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master of something, and I am left here to wonder what I have managed to master in my life. I know a wide variety of everything, but don’t know much about anything. Mastery comes from persistent practice. My wandering attention span has taken to so many different places, but never long enough to appreciate the place where I have come.

Even my writing has suffered from this. I’ll be lucky to finish this post. Usually, it will sit in my draft folder for the next couple of weeks before I return to it to either decide that what I had wrote is good enough to publish without any further thought and editing or that what I had wrote is trash and subsequently disposed of. I am determined to finish and publish this post by the time McKenzie has finished her gymnastics class. Good writing comes with practice, and here is my practice.

I have so many projects floating around in my head and now struggle to bring them to life. I keep telling myself that I need to express them, whether they be on paper or in my wiki or these posts, and I start out with the best of intentions, a note jotted down in my Moleskine notebook or an article started in my wiki, but never finish. I create elaborate to-do lists with pestering reminders, but in the end, the reminders are ignored and then disabled, and the list grows and grows.

Then there is the guilt. I firmly believe that things are accomplished by small steps of progress, not long runs of hectic activity. I look back at my fifteen minutes of mindless web surfing or thirty minutes of mindless television watching as precious minutes I will never get back, putting my further and further behind in the grand scheme of things. And the guilt depresses me, forcing me onto the couch for another fifteen minutes of mindless web surfing or thirty minutes of mindless television watching…circle of life.

Today you and I spent the day together. No school today, teacher in-service. Together we biked to Lava Java. I, my usual – a shot in the dark, and you, milk and a blueberry muffin. It was a beautiful morning for the ten and half mile bike ride. Now, as I write this, you are playing in the Jamison Square water fountain. As I watch you play, I hope that you are happy.

It’s been awhile since my last letter, and I worry that I am squandering my precious time with you. There is so much I want to teach you, and most of what you will learn from me is by my own example. As you grow older and read these dispatches, you will be the ultimate judge of what I had to offer you.

Did I teach you the skills to better yourself? Did I teach you to be curious and creative? Life is full of potential, and you need to apply yourself to achieve it. I hope that you remember me as a role model who never accepted the status quo and always pushed himself to improve and inspire.

Most of all, did I teach you to look beyond my own shortcomings, to learn from my mistakes, and in turn, to learn from your own mistakes? I, and you, will make our fair share.

With love,
Your father

Providence Bridge Pedal

Minh-Kiet Callies — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 05:55:16 +0000

It has been over seven years since Jill and I moved to the Portland area, and every year since, we promised ourselves that the next year would be the year we would do the Providence Bridge Pedal. Well, McKenzie and I finally did it, riding the 5 bridge pedal, or about 11.5 miles, and, in all the events I have attended and helped produce, that was one of the coolest things I had ever done.

For those not familiar with Portland, the city is bisected by the Willamette River, which is crossed by various bridges and how it received one of its nicknames, Bridgetown. Now what makes the Providence Bridge Pedal so special and unique is that the route includes some of these bridges as well as sections of the interstate system, including the two interstate bridges that cross over the Willamette, the Marquam and Fremont. On this one day of the year, motorized traffic must yield a portion of the freeway system to bicycles. It is surreal to pedal on a stretch of freeway you routinely travel by car with thousands of other bicyclists. The different perspective is awe-inspiring.

Unfortunately, Jill wasn’t able to ride with McKenzie and me, but she was there when we crossed both the start and finish lines. McKenzie had a blast pedaling along behind my bike on her WeeHoo, crossing over the Morrison, Ross Island, Hawthorne, Marquam and Fremont bridges. She really enjoys bicycling, as much as I had when I was a child, constantly asking if we can go for a bike ride to the park or work.

We cannot wait for next year’s Bridge Pedal. Jill promises to join us, and McKenzie and I could not get enough. Next year, instead of five bridges, seven…

An Open Letter to My Daughter

Minh-Kiet Callies — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 02:09:00 +0000

My dearest daughter McKenzie,

It has been awhile since my last open letter to you, and to some extent, I feel that I have failed you. You are now running around Fairgrounds Community Park, making new friends and enjoying your childhood, and I want so much for you to enjoy your childhood. Honestly, McKenzie, your father has no very strong fond memories of his childhood. The only real memories he has of his childhood are those of wishing to be an adult. Cherish these times. Savor them, and enjoy them again in your old age.

During your short time here, I have been recently bothered by your brushes with human cruelty, both foreign and domestic, and struggle how to protect you from it. In the end, I know that I cannot.

Your father

The End of our Streak

Minh-Kiet Callies — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 14:56:33 +0000

Yesterday, we ended our geocaching streak, at least one find during each of the thousand and one consecutive days. It began on September 22, 2007 and ended on June 18, 2010. During that time, the streak has imposed a regiment of routine while taking us on adventures near, far and wide. We have visited Illinois, Indiana, Arizona, California, Wisconsin, Texas, Arkanasas, Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Hawaii, finding 1,156 geocaches.

Each day of the streak was captured with a photo or two, documenting our finds and in return our lives, especially the growth and development of our daughter McKenzie during the ages of two through four. Some of those photos have been posted on Flickr in a geocaching streak set. It is amazing to look back upon these photos, recapturing the sense of place.

When we drive around, we always seem to put the places we pass by or visit in the context of geocaching. “We found a geocache there,” I will point out to Jill, and Jill will ask me, “Didn’t we find a geocache here?” For McKenzie, she always puts in the request, “Can we find a cache in a park?” Yes, the streak has left us with a strong sense of place, a connection to that which we would have normally passed by without a second thought.

Then there was yesterday, and it was hard. In the back of my mind were doubts. Do I want to end it? Is 1,001 days enough? The minutes seemed to linger heavy with those doubts. Even at 10:50 PM that night, as I fixed myself something to eat, I called out to my wife, watching TV on the couch, “We still have a hour and 10 minutes to keep it going. I could run out real quick.” I was half joking, and, more revealing, half serious.

However, midnight came and went, and the streak is over. Thanks for the lessons in dedication and persistence.

See all the stats of our streak at here.

Perhaps I should follow Hugo's lead and hire some staff to manage my Twitter account. #
Strange, you start out as a twig floating along the currents of life, accepting, if not enjoying, the ride along the way… #
…Then, somewhere along the way, we believe that you are bigger than the river called Life and try to plant roots into the river bed… #
…You declare that, from this moment on, this is the pinnacle of existence. There is no progress beyond this point… #
…Then the river tires of your resistance and quickly uproots you, and you return to being a twig again, but now angry and bitter… #
…You're riding down the river anyways. How do wish to make the trip? Personally, I think I'll try to enjoy the journey. #

It is the face
of a rough mother speaking. #
The sea is young.
One storm cleans all the hoar
And loosens the age of it.
I hear it laughing, reckless. #
They love the sea,
Men who ride on it
And know they will die
Under the salt of it #
Let only the young come,
Says the sea. #
Let them kiss my face
And hear me.
I am the last word
And I tell
Where storm and stars come from. #

The only logical conclusion for a Monday is COFFEE! (@ Lava Java) http://4sq.com/aFEXod #
But I say to you that when you work you fulfill a part of earth's furthest dream, assigned to you when that dream was born, #
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life, #
And to love lfe through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret. #
But if you in your pain call birth an affliction and the support of the flesh a curse written upon your brow, #
then I answer that naught but the sweat of your brow shall wash away that which is written. #
You have been told also life is darkness, and in your weariness you echo what was said by the weary. #
And I say that life is indeed darkness save when there is urge,
And all urge is blind save when there is knowledge, #
And all knowledge is vain save when there is work,
And all work is empty save when there is love; #
And when you work with love you bind yourself to yourself, and to one another, and to God. #
And what is it to work with love? #
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. #
It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house. #
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit. #
It is to charge all things you fashion with a breath of your spirit, #
And to know that all the blessed dead are standing about you and watching. #
Often have I heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, "he who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, #
is nobler than he who ploughs the soil. #
And he who seizes the rainbow to lay it on a cloth in the likeness of man, is more than he who makes the sandals for our feet." #
But I say, not in sleep but in the over-wakefulness of noontide, that the wind speaks not more sweetly #
to giant oaks than the least of all the blades of grass; #
And he alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving. #
Work is love made visible. #
And if you cannot work with live but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work #
and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. #
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. #
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distills a poison in the wine. #
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man'd ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night. #

Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
Italiam, fato profugus, Laviniaque venit #
litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto
vi superum saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram; #
multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem,
inferretque deos Latio, genus unde Latinum,
Albanique patres, atque altae moenia Romae. #
Musa, mihi causas memora, quo numine laeso,
quidve dolens, regina deum tot volvere casus #
insignem pietate virum, tot adire labores
impulerit. Tantaene animis caelestibus irae? #
My twenty-ninth selection is the opening of Book I of The Aeneid by Virgil, a throwback to my college Latin courses. #
Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc'd by fate,
And haughty Juno's unrelenting hate,
Expell'd and exil'd, left the Trojan shore. #
Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,
And in the doubtful war, before he won
The Latian realm, and built the destin'd town; #
From whence the race of Alban fathers come,
And the long glories of majestic Rome. #
His banish'd gods restor'd to rites divine,
And settled sure succession in his line, #
O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate;
What goddess was provok'd, and whence her hate;
For what offense the Queen of Heav'n began #
To persecute so brave, so just a man;
Involv'd his anxious life in endless cares,
Expos'd to wants, and hurried into wars! #
Can heav'nly minds such high resentment show,
Or exercise their spite in human woe? #

My first tweet from my new iPad 3G #
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stoods #
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth. #
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; #
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same. #
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day! #
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. #
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence: #
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. #

Come to me, O ye children!
For I hear you at your play,
And the questions that perplexed me
Have vanished quite away. #
Ye open the eastern windows,
That look towards the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows
And the brooks of morning run. #
In your hearts are the birds and the sunshine,
In your thoughts the brooklet's flow, #
But in mine is the wind of Autumn
And the first fall of the snow. #
Ah! what would the world be to us
If children were no more?
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before. #
What the leaves areto the forest,
With lightand air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood, — #
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
Of a brighter and sunnier climate
Than reaches the trunks below. #
Come to me, O ye children!
And whisper in my ear
What the birds and the winds are singing
In your sunny atmosphere. #
For what are all our contrivings,
And the wisdom of out books,
When compared with your caresses,
And the gladness of your looks? #
Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead. #

It may be misery not to sing at all,
And to go silent through the brimming day; #
It may be misery never to be loved,
But deeper griefs than these beset the way. #
To sing the perfect song,
And by a half-tone lost the key, #
There the potent sorrow, there the grief,
The pale, sad staring of Lufe's Tragedy. #
To have come near to perfect love,
Not the hot passion of untempered youth, #
But that which lies aside its vanity,
And gives, for thy trusting worship, truth. #
This, this indeed is to be accursed,
For if we mortals love, or if we sing, #
We count our joys not by what we have,
But by what kept us from that perfect thing. #

My dog has died.
I buried him in the garden
next to a rusted old machine. #
Some day I'll join him right there,
but now he's gone with his shaggy coat,
his bad manners and his cold nose, #
and I, the materialist, who never believed
in any promised heaven in the sky
for any human being,
I believe in a heaven I'll never enter. #
Yes, I believe in a human for all dogdom
where my dog waits for my arrival
waving his fan-like tail in friendship. #
Ai, I'll not speak of sadness here on earth,
of having lost a companion
who was never servile. #
His friendship for me, like that of a porcupine
withholding its authority,
was the friendship of a star, aloof, #
with no more intimacy than was called for,
with no exaggerations:
he never climbed all over my clothes #
filling me full of his hair or his mange,
he never rubbed up against my knee
like other dogs obsessed with sex. #
Np, my dog used to gaze at me,
paying me the attention I need,
the attention required
to make a vain person like me understand #
that, being a dog, he was wasting time,
but, with those eyes so much purer than mine,
he'd keep on gazing at me #
with a look that reserved for me alone
all his sweet and shaggy life,
always near me, never troubling me,
and asking nothing. #
Ai, how many times have I envied his tail
as we walked together on the shores of the sea
In the lonely winter of Isla Negra #
where the wintering birds filled the sky
and my hairy dog was jumping about
full of the voltage of the sea's movement: #
my wandering dog, sniffing away
with his golden tail held high,
face to face with the ocean's spray. #
Joyful, joyful, joyful,
as only dogs know how to be happy
with only the autonomy
of their shameless spirit. #
There are no good-byes for my dog who has died,
and we don't now and never did lie to each other. #
So now he's gone and I buried him,
and that's all there is to it. #

Coffee before the pulling of the wife's wisdom teeth (@ Lava Java) http://4sq.com/aFEXod #
'Your eyes that once were never weary of mine
Are bowed in sotrow under pendulous lids,
Because our love is waning.' #
And the She:
'Although our love is waning, let us stand
By the line border of the lake once more,
Together in that hour of gentleness #
When the poor tired child, passion, falls asleep.
How far away the stars seem, and how far
Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!' #
Pensive they paced along the faded leaves
While slowly he whose hand held hers replied:
'Passion has often worn our wandering hearts.' #
The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves
Fell like faint meteors in the gloom, and once #
A rabbit old and lame limped down the path;
Autumn was over him: and now they stood
On the lone border of the lake once more: #
Turning, he saw that she had thrust dead leaves
Gathered in silence, dewy as her eyes,
In bosom and hair. #
'Ah, do not mourn,' he said,
'That we are tired, for other loves await us;
Hate on and love through unrepining hours. #
Before us lies eternity; our souls
Are love, and a continual farewell.' #

FIRST
Be it a girl, or one of the boys,
It is scarlet all over its avoirdupois,
It is red, it is boiled; could the obstetrician #
Have possibly been a lobstertrician?
His degrees and credentials were hunky-dory,
But how's for an infantile inventory? #
Here's the prodigy, here's the miracle!
Whether its head is oval or spherical,
You rejoice to find it has only one, #
Having dreaded a two-headed daughter or son;
Here's the phenomenon all complete,
It's got two hands, it's got two feet, #
Only natural, but pleasing, because
For months you have dreamed of flippers or claws.
Furthermore, it is fully equipped: #
Finger and toes with nails are tipped;
It's even got eyes, and a mouth clear cut;
When the eyes go shut, the breath is loosed #
And the presence of lungs can be deduced.
Let the rockets flash and the cannon thunder,
This child is a marvel, a matchless wonder. #
A staggering child, a child astounding,
Dazzling, diaperless, dumbfounding,
Stupendous, miraculous, unsurpassed, #
A child to stagger and flabbergast,
Bright as a button, sharp as a thorn,
And the only perfect one ever born. #
SECOND
Arrived this evening at half-past nine.
Everybody is going fine.

Let me die a youngman's death
not a clean and inbetween
the sheets holywater death
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death #
When I'm 73
and in constant good tumour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an allnight party #
Or when I'm 91
with silver hair
And sitting in a barber's chair
may rival gangsters
with hamfisted tommyguns burst in #
and give me a short back and insides #
Or when I'm 104
and banned from the Cavern
may my mistress
catching me in bed with her daughter #
and fearing for her son
cut me up into little pieces
and throw away every piece but one #
Let me die a youngman's death
not a free from sin tiptoe in
candle wax and waning death
not a curtains drawn by angels borne #
'what a nice way to go' death #

I hold my honey and I store my bread
In little jars and cabinets of my will. #
I label clearly, and each latch and lid
I bid, Be firm till I return from hell. #
I am very hungry. I am incomplete.
And none can give me any word but Wait,
The puny light. I keep my eyes pointed in; #
Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt
Drag out to their last dregs and I resume
On such legs as are left me, in such heart #
As I manage, remember to go home,
My taste will not have turned insensitive
To honey and bread old purity could love. #

All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is when, going #
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the water's
Monotone. #
The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing
Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below. #
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro. #

I saw a little elephant standing in my garden,
I said 'You don't belong here', he said 'I beg you pardon?'. #
I said, 'This place is England, what are you doing here?',
He said, 'Ah, then I must be lost' and then 'Oh dear, oh dear'. #
'I should be back in Africa, on Saranghetti's Plain',
'Pray, where is the nearest station where I can catch a train?' #
He caught the bus to Finchley and then to Mincing lane,
And over the Embankment, where he got lost, again. #
The police they put him in a cell, but it was far too small,
So they tied him to a lampost and he slept against the wall. #
But as the policemen lay sleeping by the twinkling light of dawn,
The lampost and the wall were there, but the elephant was gone! #
So if you see an elephant in a Jumbo Jet,
You can be sure that Africa's the place he's trying to get! #

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise. #
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room. #
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise. #
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries. #
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard. #

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

Take this kids upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow – #
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none, #
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream. #
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand – #
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep – while I weep! #
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave? #
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream? #

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd, #
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. #
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line #
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. #
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay, #
In such a jocund company:
I gazed – and gazed – but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought: #
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye #
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils. #

Many things I might have said today.
And I kept my mouth shut.
So many times I was asked
To come and say the same things #
Everyone was saying, no end
To the yes-yes, yes-yes,
me-too, me-too. #
The aprons of silence covered me.
A wire and hatch held my tongue.
I spit nails into an abyss and listened. #
I shut off the gable of Jones, Johnson, Smith,
All whose names take pages in the city directory. #
I fixed up a padded cell and lugged it around.
I locked myself in and nobody knew it.
Only the keeper and the kept in the hoosegow #
Knew it – on the streets, in the post office,
On the cars, into the railroad station
Where the caller was calling, " All a-board, #
All a-board for…Blaa-blaa…Blaa-blaa,
Blaa-blaa…and all points northwest…all a-board." #
Here I took along my own hoosegow
And did business with my own thoughts.

Bury your heart in some deep green hollow
Or hide it up in a kind old tree;
Better still, give it the swallow
When she goes over the sea. #
In Saturday Market there's eggs a 'plenty
And dead-alive ducks with their legs tied down,
Grey old gaffers and boys of twenty – #
Girls and the women of the town –
Pitchers and sugar-sticks, ribbons and laces,
Posies and whips and dicky-birds' seed, #
Silver pieces and smiling faces,
In Saturday Market they've all they need. #
What were you showing in Saturday Market
That set it grinning from end to end
Girls and gaffers and boys of twenty –? #
Cover it close with your shawl, my friend –
Hasten you home with the laugh behind you,
Over the down –, out of sight, #
Fasten your door, though no one will find you,
No one will look on a Market night. #
See, you, the shawl is wet, take out from under
The red dead thing –. In the white of the moon #
On the flags does it stir again? Well, and no wonder!
Best make an end of it; bury it soon. #
If there is blood on the hearth who'll know it?
Or blood on the stairs,
When a murder is over and done why show it? #
In Saturday Market nobody cares. #
Then lie you straight on your bed for a short, short weeping
And still, for a long, long rest, #
There's never a one in the town so sure of sleeping
As you, in the house on the down with a hole in your breast. #
Think no more of the swallow,
Forget, you, the sea,
Never again remember the deep green hollow
Or the top of the kind old tree! #

Our 1500th Geocache Find – It is hard to believe that on April 15th six years ago. We started our geocaching… http://tumblr.com/xlv8hoh0x #
In April, in April
My one love came along,
And I ran the slope of my high hill
To follow a thread of song. #
His eyes were hard as porphyry
With looking on cruel lands;
His voice went slipping over me
Like terrible silver hands. #
Together we trod the secret lane
And walked the muttering town.
I wore my heart like a wet, red stain
On the breast of a velvet gown. #
In April, in April,
My love went whistling by,
And I stumbled here to my high hill
Along the way of a lie. #
Now what should I do in this place
But sit and count the chimes,
And splash cold water on my face
And spoil a page with rhymes? #

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances, #
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. #
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, #
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, #
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, #
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances; #
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; #
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes #
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion, #
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. #
My first selection for National Poetry Month is All the world's a stage by William Shakespeare. #

He halted in the wind, and — what was that
Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? #
He stood there bringing March against his thought,
And yet too ready to believe the most. #
"Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said;
And truly it was fair enough for flowers #
had we but in us to assume in march
Such white luxuriance of May for ours. #
We stood a moment so in a strange world,
Myself as one his own pretense deceives; #
And then I said the truth (and we moved on).
A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. #

Wife shopping and I finishing my comic strip. (@ Target) http://4sq.com/6s78de #
I would I might forget that I am I,
And break the heavy chain that binds me fast,
Whose links about myself my deeds have cast. #
What in the body's tomb doth buried lie
Is boundless; 'tis the spirit of the sky,
Lord of the future, guardian of the past, #
And soon must forth, to know his own at last.
In his large life to live, I fain would die.
Happy the dumb beast, hungering for food, #
But calling not his suffering his own;
Blessed the angel, gazing on all good,
But knowing not he sits upon a throne; #
Wretched the mortal, pondering his mood,
And doomed to know his aching heart alone. #

An Open Letter to My Daughter

Minh-Kiet Callies — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:44:48 +0000

Dear McKenzie,

The new year has come, and yet it is just now for the first time in this new year, this new decade, that I am making the time to fulfill my promise to you. So many things have been passing in and out of my mind since my last letter, and it is hard to nail them down at their particular moments and offer them up as pearls of wisdom for you.

Most recently, I have just finished the book, The Science of Fear, which helped keep my cynicism, worries and fears in perspective. When all looks wrong with the world, I am reminded by the fact that despite the challenges we now face that we are better off than in the past, that we have and will continue to progress. This is saying much about your father who could easily become a grumpy, old and bitter man, who recounts a glorious golden past age.

McKenzie, please don’t let me become that guy. Remind me that the past was filled with disease, starvation, menial labor and violence. But, most of all, remember and learn from those past mistakes and improve upon those past achievements.

Another thing that has been weighing heavy on my mind is feedback. Somewhere down the line, my feedback loop became broken, leaving me detached from those who were once important to me earlier in my life. Occasionally, there are twinges of regret and lame attempts to reconnect; however, they seem to lead nowhere.

I send out signal out into the darkness beyond my immediate source of light – you and your mother – and hear nothing back. Eventually I just turn off the signal all together. I don’t want that to happen to us. More importantly, I don’t want you to follow in my footsteps as hone it as the sharpest weapon in your defense mechanism arsenal.

An Open Letter to My Daughter

Minh-Kiet Callies — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:15:53 +0000

Dear McKenzie,

Your father is a sentimentalist, prone to looking back upon events as he wishes them to be rather than how they actually were. Despite all the documentation I have managed to manufacture over these last few years, with all the photos, written notes, video clips and maps, it all still reflects what I wanted to take away from our time together. I want to portray your childhood as happy and fulfilling. Whether or not I succeed, you will be the judge.

Your loving father

An Open Letter to My Daughter

Minh-Kiet Callies — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:53:59 +0000

Dear McKenzie,

Since my last letter to you, we have hit somewhat of a rough patch. No matter what I do or say, you only want your mother, and truthfully, it hurts.

Your mother is at her wits’ end trying to mediate between us. Despite all the evidence of a child prefering one parent over the other as normal and natural and all the calls from the gallery of reason that you are only three and I am thirty-eight and that I should grow up already, the rejection still hurts. It leads me to some dark places.

The conclusion I come to is that perhaps there is something naturally about me that causes rejection in my fellow human beings. Your child innocence sixth sense is able to detect my abhorrent nature, leaving me with the feeling that perhaps you are better without me. Your mother may think I am being silly and melodramatic, but that, in my life, is how I have come to perceive and cope the demons in my mind.

However, there are the moments, like now, when you crawl into my lap on our flight to Maui and cuddle in. I want you to be happy, and not struggle with the self-loathing and guilt I often feel. Your mother is right, though. I need to keep my head in the game and try every day to engage and connect with you. I have to realize that this is a lifetime work in progress and that along the way we will experience some bumps in the road.

Love,
Your father

Day 779 of our geocaching streak: http://flic.kr/p/7ef7J9
#geocaching #
✍1: The old man appeared from around the corner, pulling along an old Radio Flyer wagon. #
✍2: He stopped and checked on his cargo. #
✍3: The legs, tail and head of a large dog hung over the sides of the too small wagon, almost dragging along pavement. #
✍4: Its tongue dangled from its lifeless head, obvious to even the most casual observer. #
✍5: The old man carefully rolled the dog's tongue back into its mouth and then gently caressed the dog's chin and patted its head. #
✍6: In a raspy, gravelly voice, the old man consoled the dead dog, "It's going to be alright, boy. It's going to be alright." #
✍7: The old man then dropped the dog's head and returned to the wagon's handle and pulling along his precious cargo. #
✍7: Its tongue rolled back out of its mouth, and the dog's body seemed to slump a little farther off the wagon. #
✍8: The old man repeated the ritual every dozen steps -stopping, checking on and consoling his companion – disappearing down the street. #

An Open Letter to My Daughter

Minh-Kiet Callies — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:33:02 +0000

Dear McKenzie,

I never know where to begin these letters. In the between times, a thousand themes swim in and out of my mind, and most of the about how much I will screw you up.

Your mother and I constantly worry whether or not we are doing right by you, whether or not you will be happy. Just speaking for the half I bring to the table, you come from some strange stock, and I see some of my bad traits manifesting themselves within you. Then again, perhaps, your mother and I are obsessing.

If there is one thing I want you to know, and I will try to let you know it every chance I have, it is that I love you.

Your father

An Open Letter to My Daughter

Minh-Kiet Callies — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:10:43 +0000

McKenzie,

Your mother is worried about our relationship as you, three years old, and I, thirty-eight years old, grow older and has suggested that I take the opportunity to regularly write down my thoughts and feelings about our relationship. Without any prodding of your mother, I have agreed. It is important to me that you know how much I love you, how much joy and hope you give me every day and how much I want you to be happy.

As I have grown older, I have learned to appreciate the beauty of achievement in small, but measurable and committed steps. I did this in the year you were born, 2005. I decide on the first of that year, without much thought and any knowledge of your being, that I would take a moment from each day and make a paper crane, and by the end of that year, as if it were a reward for my diligent labor, I was blessed with your arrival. Those 365 paper cranes are displayed in our home, floating from the ceiling, and I hope that they are a permanent fixture of your childhood, a reminder of beauty created by your father.

As you will learn, this is a theme your father will constantly return to. My current project of the beauty in achievement is our geocaching streak, currently at 755 straight days with at least a find. Our goal is 1001 straight days, a play on the stories of the Arabian Nights. I took up geocaching because of you, McKenzie. I wanted something for us to do together, that would nurture a love of travel and discovery, and I see that in you as it manifests itself in your excitement in the discovery of a new park or playground.

And now I embark on another quest for you. I have committed to writing you an open letter each week. Many of which will probably be not very good or informative, but as a whole body of work, spectacular.

Your father

Happy

I added my WordPress blog to Flickr, making this my first post.

I am sometimes saddened by the number of great photos, like this one, that are never viewed by anyone, never noticed.

Maybe this will help bring them to light . . .

News or Entertainment?

Minh-Kiet Callies — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 04:31:36 +0000

While cleaning up after Easter dinner, we learned of the dramatic of American sea captain Richard Philips held captive by Somali pirates. Jill and I got into an argument about the situation. I was troubled by Jill’s immediate lack of appreciation of the complex nature of piracy in that region of the world, and Jill, by my perceived lack of empathy for Richard Philips and his ordeal.

For me, news should educate, and for so many others, at least as I see it, news, especially those stories of this nature, is entertainment. While the positive resolution of Richard Philips ordeal was important, the true value of this news story is to educate us of these complex issues and to help craft us solutions to the poverty and injustices that fuel the problem of piracy. The problem is that beyond Richard Philips, most people don’t care about the causes and, by extension, the solutions. It doesn’t make good drama, where there is a protagonist and an antagonist with the antagonist being punished in the end. It requires thought and participation. This is why these type of stories aren’t news, but entertainment.

Of course, most people would take offense to this, and yet when pressed for further thoughts beyond Richard Philips, people go blank or run to some obscure moral high ground to cry out for justice, law and order for civilization and its interests. Shoot them all and let God sort it out is what I hear.

However, these people are not interested in addressing the region’s extreme poverty and injustices that they believe is to be impossible or exaggerated. They don’t understand that solutions to poverty and injustice are not the results from a zero-sum game, where someone has to lose something in order for someone else to gain. In the end there can be no justice for one if there isn’t justice for all.

Now I am not calling for us to capitulate to the demands of pirates, terrorists or robbers nor am I calling for leniency for those who perpetrate injustice upon others. What I can calling for is to use the news to educate us into finding solutions to problems, not to just entertain us until the next drama.

I Can Be Kind And Giving

Minh-Kiet Callies — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 03:12:33 +0000

Back in college, I loved watching the TV show Northern Exposure, a good example of one of my favorite genres, magical realism.

Well, in the episode Mr. Sandman, when the aurora borealis goes haywire, everyone in Cicely is swapping dreams, exposing each other’s secrets. Maggie O’Connell has Holling Vincoeur’s dreams about his childhood and his troubled relationship with his cruel father and loving, but rejected mother, and Holling develops a severe psychosomatic aversion to food. In true magical realism fashion, believing that the dreams that Maggie are experiencing have something to do with Holling’s problems, they turn to the town’s health care system, Dr. Joel Fleischman, for help.

In the end, more from Holling’s epiphany than Fleischman’s diagnosis, Holling realizes that his food aversion began with milk, a symbol of motherhood, and believes that his aversion to milk, and subsequently all food, stems from the rejection of his mother for being weak. Now, as an expectant father, he comes to terms with that rejection and realizes that he doesn’t have to follow the path of his cruel father when it comes to his own child. He tells Joel,

I have been so fearful of becoming my father, but it doesn’t need to be that way. No. I can be my mother. I can be kind and giving. I can be good to my child.

The impact of this scene isn’t because it strikes some personal chord about my own personal parental relationship, but rather it reminds that no matter what our personal baggage may have, we can always take the goodness of our parents and be better for our children.

All of my blogging, twittering, photo sharing and video production is to leave my daughter, McKenzie, a more complete picture of her father, a picture where I can be kind and giving.

The Value of Education

Minh-Kiet Callies — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 10:01:27 +0000

Last Sunday, Jill and I visited The Catlin Gabel School in Portland, preparing ourselves for the next stage of McKenzie’s education, and from my own personal experience, the decision where to send her to school has been weighing heavy upon my mind.

I am the product of a Milwaukee Public School education and looking back upon it I feel that overall I have received a decent one at that. During that time, I can recall my fourth-grade class as the worst, followed by my fifth-grade class, and middle school, on a personal level, was a disaster for me. Other than these stints, I have received a decent education.

Then I look at my daughter, and I want her to have an exceptional education, to receive that which I did not. Our tour of Catlin Gabel gave me a glimpse of what that exceptional education would be like.

The school has a campus setting, 54 wooded acres, spread across several buildings. Some stats gathered during our fact-finding mission were:

Overall student to teacher ratio: 7 to 1.
74% of faculty members hold advanced degrees; all participate in ongoing professional development.
Three-time recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics and Science.
Students learn to think, write, and speak critically and independently. Enriched curriculum combines experiential learning with the arts, English, history and social studies, math, science, modern languages, physical education, and computer science. Each child is known and appreciated as an individual.
13 specialists teach visual arts, theater, and music offering over 30 arts classes.
Four years of advanced computer science courses.
Advanced honors courses in biology, chemistry, and physics, with 70% of seniors pursuing advanced science courses. 90% of seniors pursuing advanced math, culminating in Calculus 2.
High School students serve on board of trustee committees. Opportunities are available for student leadership in community service, athletics, performing arts, robotics, publications (yearbook, literary magazine, student newspaper), Model U.N., mock trials, and others.
Language learning for all students begins in 1st grade in Spanish, Chinese, or French.
More than 80% score above 1200 on the combined SAT I, and 30% score over 1400, the highest scores in the state.
Median AP test score is 5, the highest possible score.
100% admitted to college.
60% admitted to first-choice college.
More than 75% attending the most selective U.S. colleges and universities.
More than 20% national merit semifinalists or commended scholars.

However, do not be fooled by my “wanting to be a good provider” reasoning, for I also have a selfish reason for wanting to provide my daughter with an exceptional education, and that is to also receive the benefits and rigor of her education as Jill and I help her grow and develop in such an environment. I want her curriculum to challenge me as I am helping her with her homework or school project. I want to meet and learn from her friends’ and peers’ parents who also value an exceptional education, and in return, I hope that I can offer some bit of knowledge and insight in return. Most of all, I want to instill in my daughter a love of learning for learning’s sake and the value of an education.

Though we may look at other schools, I am smitten with Catlin Gabel. However, McKenzie has a couple of years before she can apply. The school begins accepting students at four-years-of-age, and McKenzie wouldn’t be eligible to apply until the 2010 school year.

Thickbox Instead of Greybox

Minh-Kiet Callies — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 02:25:50 +0000

In an effort to streamline the site and kept my horizons open to new things, I have switched from Greybox to Thickbox to handle the overlay display of external pages. For those of you brave enough to wander through the twist and turns of my site, you have discovered that the icons and images on my site are more than eye candy. They are navigation tools to other areas of our site.
An example of the Gteybox or Thickbox implemenration is when you click on the Contact Us icon, represented by the letter and envelope. When click on that icon, a new “window” is overlaid on the main page and displays the contact form for leaving us a message. This new “window” overlay is Greybox or Thickbox.
But why change from Greybox to Thickbox? Other than some cosmetic differences, what is the difference?
Thickbox is based upon the lightweight Javascript library, JQuery. Greybox relied on several Javascript libraries, breaking the adage that smaller is a faster and better solution.
I utilize this user interface to access outside resources without having the feeling that you have completely leftour site.

Our Caching Streak

Minh-Kiet Callies — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:53:24 +0000

It started on September 22, 2007, and every day since, we have found at least one geocache. As of this writing, that is 382 days in a row. Now this streak may seem trivial and mundane, hardly a triumph, but have you ever tried to do a conscious activity consistently for such a long time?

I can’t, and that is why I find this streak so amazing.

It’s also not just about the geocaching. A consequence of our streak has also been at least a photo a day, along with a sentence or two a day in our daily Twitter dispatches.

Despite Jill’s initial desire to put an end of the streak after a year, when the streak was in jeopardy, she became upset at the idea of its demise, so we continue on.

I have compiled a photo slideshow of our streak, which can be viewed here.

The Gift of Time

In the recent issue of Craft Magazine, I read an article about Spyn project. The idea was that in addition to the finished knitted product, there was the knitter’s associated experiences with the project, or the notion that every stitch tells a story. Knitting lends itself very easily to the storytelling tradition, as understood in such idioms as “spinning a yarn”.

The Spyn project is trying to use technology to store those associated memories with a knitting project, such as a photo of the park you knitted the sleeve in, or a video of your thoughts while you knitted the collar, or the locations of where you were when you knitted the hood. In addition to the knitted product, one could also receive a journal of the knitter’s experiences.

This interest me, for in my own knitting, there are thoughts, stories and images I wish to also give with my knitted tokens.

Beta Site

Minh-Kiet Callies — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:53:15 +0000

These last few week I have been working on some major website design at http://calliesadventures.com/beta.php, trying to incorporate some of the new things I have learned. Here are a couple of things I changed:

Combined the events on the timeline onto one band,
Reduced the number of accordion tabs,
Moved the Flickr photostream to a more visible and readily accessible location,
Moved the featured video to a more visible and readily accessible location,
Moved the category tag cloud of posts to a more visible and readily accessible location,
Displayed Jill’s, McKenzie’s and my most recent tweets,
And used new icons, such as a Moleskine icon to represent a link to Calliespedia.

I would be interested in some feedback about the new redesign.

Houston, We Have a Problem

Minh-Kiet Callies — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:38:38 +0000

I have been having problems with my iPhone thinking I was in Houston, Texas. When posting on clients, such as Lifecast or Twinkle, or using location-aware applications, such as Maps or Exposure, I would be in the wrong place.

Yesterday I read a Google feed item about this particular issue. Apparently the 3G network is throwing off your actual location. If you disable 3G in Settings -> General -> Network, the location issue disappears.

Location is determined first by cell tower and wifi hotspot locations and then by the built-in GPS. My guess is that the assigned 3G cell tower locations are incorrect, probably programmed to a Houston location.

Hopefully Apple and AT&T will address and resolve this issue soon.

Another Blogging Tool

Minh-Kiet Callies — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:37:28 +0000

WordPress just released their iPhone application, and of course, I had to install it and test it out.

First, I had to created a fresh WordPress installation on my DreamHost web hosting account. DreamHost makes several open source web application easy to install and configure.

Second, I loaded my account information into the iPhone application, and after a few moments of negotiating the Internet, my posts appear on iPhone, ready to be edited or added.

This may make WordPress my blogging tool of choice.

There is a photo option, allowing you to add a photo taken with your iPhone to your post. I have included a snapshot of Jill at the doctor’s office for her wound check.
