what? the curtains?: daredevil
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/11/daredevil.html
Monday, November 19, 2007. Apparently I had an internal alarm clock as a kid that only worked on Saturday mornings as an alert for punctual cartoon watching. My mother tells me it took a herculean effort to get me out of bed on school days, complete with bacon bribery, so it mystified her that I could wake up like a shot at 7 am on the only day she could sleep in. To watch men in capes and tights run around saving people. My favorite show (that I remember) was Spiderman and His Amazing Friends. And it's ...

what? the curtains?: desire
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/11/desire.html
Wednesday, November 07, 2007. Look closely enough and you can see the metaphor in anything. For me, cosmology conjures strings between what is out there and what is within us. These infinite and tiny facing mirrors that make me wonder if who we are is just an echo of what has always been. And as I was watching 'The Universe' recently it linked in my mind to this book I read called. The Truth about What Buddha Taught. The book is about the nature of. The problem is not desire. In its totality: gratifying ...

what? the curtains?: i wish i had two more wishes
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-wish-i-had-two-more-wishes.html
Tuesday, December 04, 2007. I wish i had two more wishes. Last week Scientific American. Wrote this article about how to raise smart kids. The key, apparently, is not emphasizing intelligence and talent. It’s teaching them that being smart is about effort and the evolution of your mind over time. The difference between kids who get the former vs. the latter message is stark:. Their conclusions remind me of a book I read a bit back called The Drama of the Gifted Child. The evening after I read the article...

what? the curtains?: the fortress of solitude
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/11/the-fortress-of-solitude.html
Monday, November 12, 2007. The fortress of solitude. In the film No Country for Old Men. This notion of how life shifts its mystery is something raised again and again in a book I'm reading called The Fortress of Solitude. And the book has many lines and paragraphs that haunt me and make me swoon and this is just one of them:. It makes me think of Superman and Clark Kent, of the characters in 'No Country' who shift with their circumstances, of all the people I've known and will know who will turn like a ...

what? the curtains?: if you'll believe in me, i'll believe in you
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/11/if-you-believe-in-me-i-believe-in-you.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. If youll believe in me, ill believe in you. In the modern vernacular, to say someone is “in denial”. Is to deliver a savage combination punch: one shot to the belly for the cheating or drinking or bad behavior, and another slap to the head for the cowardly self-deception of pretending it’s not a problem. BAH ha ha ha."). So I never learned the trick of talking the talk. Or it may be because I’ve always felt guilty. The origins of my judgment are often better than their results...

May 30, 2008. Grady Towers wrote an article in 1987 called “The Outsiders” ( republished here. Which 20 years later is still relevant. Towers raises several questions that I’d like to explore in more detail. I’ll cover one of the interesting ones in this post. This is a serious problem for gifted children, including my own. I avoided it by being curious and irrational. I bet against the status quo by doing poorly in school in favor of the subjects that interested me, and it so happens that I won the ...

what? the curtains?: the stars? they watch you when you sleep and they said that you arecourageous. it's true.
http://momscurtains.blogspot.com/2007/10/the-stars-they-watch-you-when-you-sleep.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. They watch you when you sleep and they said that you are courageous. its true. EP has the advantage of being constantly happy: he has no reference to past disappointments to justify worry and bears no memory upon which to build future outcomes, hopes or fears. AJ has the grace of living a life in constant connection between what has been and what is. The extremes of their memories makes me think of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Arlington, Virginia, United States.
