Today on Facebook
Snaps from the Grain Shop
We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.
We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.
We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
-Lao Tzu (trans. S. Mitchell)
We spend a bit more time staying in touch using social media than we used to – especially as more and more of you have been friending us on Facebook. Though we hate to admit it (and with the 500 million facebookers out there who seem to feel the same way) there is definitely something going on there that’s dynamic and… well, kinda fun. Maybe it’s because Facebook allows everyone to wedge entertaining little micro-diversions into their days in the little pauses between doing “this” and doing “the next”, or maybe it’s because it’s so easy to cross-pollinate with others that have shared interests.
Whatever, right? What’s always going to be true is that some of you don’t dig it, and never will… so for you, we thought we’d re-post some of the content that goes up on Facebook so you can at least see part of what’s going on in that arena. Our plan is to drop something in here every day, but you can also check out a bunch of past uploads in full, wide-screen glory here. And hey – if you find you’re jonesing for a little online social time – just click the facebook link up top, it’ll take you to the sign-up page.
