<itunes:summary>Power to the People&#13;----------------------------------------------------&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;In the city by the bay there is a bright light.&#13;It comes out less in the winter months but it's brilliant when you see it in February.&#13;The city pulses its own vibe and you know you are here.&#13;There is no bad food in the city by the bay.&#13;&#13;I came to the city for some knowledge and some growth. It's time for evolution. I'm always ready for revolution.&#13;This was time to prepare for more challenge and heavy lifting.&#13;&#13;A theme emerges and it keeps coming back over time.&#13;It's about us. We as people should be the focus of all the things people make for us.&#13;Pay attention to people.&#13;Make good things for people.&#13;Make things that make the lives of people better.&#13;&#13;In the city by the bay the bright light is all the people. Thinking and growing and inventing and living in the city by the bay.</itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary>If You Don't Write It Down.....&#13;----------------------------------------------------&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;Hill climbing thru fantasy one of your life you reach this beautiful cove.&#13;What is here? In this hidden space? Who has been here before?&#13;&#13;So many questions pummel your brain as you sit down to rest.&#13;You've even got a sense that somehow you shouldn't be here.&#13;But now that you are you begin to relax even though that voice in the back of your head keeps saying....are you sure you?&#13;&#13;Somehow you relax enough to allow sleep.&#13;Sleep is where all the adventures come to play themselves out.&#13;Today's nap is no different-it gives you clues for the next part of this journey.&#13;And you wake up surrounded, should have paid more attention to those little voices.&#13;&#13;Hello there, you are in my cove.&#13;I'm sorry, I didn't know it was yours.&#13;You can't see this place is not like the rest of the outdoors? You can't see someone has taken great care?&#13;I see but I couldn't imagine who it might be taking care, so i thought that nobody was there.&#13;You were wrong and now I want you gone.&#13;Goodbye, but can I just gather up my things?&#13;If you must, but leave this behind.....&#13;&#13;He took my journal from me. He said he wanted to read what I'd been thinking.&#13;I left everything in there.&#13;I had written it all down.&#13;Now it was gone.&#13;Awash with panic and an imbalance I could never have imagined, I tried to pull it together.&#13;Maybe it doesn't matter. Perhaps I can recreate all of that. I can rebuild my thoughts, notions, dreams and the careful chronicling of those over the past ten years.&#13;No, I can't. The only safe place for me now is denial. I can recreate it, it will just take some time I say to myself as I try to understand again what this could mean.&#13;&#13;I always write it down. I think the lesson here and now needs to be, write it down, and copy it too.&#13;&#13;Off to climb more hills, mountains this time. Time to articulate in pen and ink, again, those dreams and the things i need to write down.</itunes:summary>
