One Day + car + baby + teamwork + talent = HAPPY BOMB!

After completion
Come new beginnings.
To gain strength,
Renew the root.

Our actions in life are as similarly varied and complex as music. Without a thorough grounding, there is no harmony.

Followers of Dao emphasize cycles. This must include a sound understanding of what to do whenever a cycle comes to an end. New ones will begin: Some of them will be engendered by the old one, others may simply be in the background and will now come forward. If we are to properly shape these new movements and if we are to prevent unwanted cycles from beginning, we must take stock and renew our basis in the fundamentals.

Everyone wants to be daring, creative, and original. Everyone wants to do things in new ways. But unless we return over and over again to the basics, we will have no chance to truly soar. Do not forget the root. Without it, we can never issue forth true power.

The end? | permacyclists

Our good friends, the Permacyclists, have thrown down an epic end-of-trip post. The goodness of people, the ineffectiveness of government, and the challenges we, as individuals, can start to tackle. Massive congratulations and can't wait to slack with you guys in Woodstock.

There are 790 mountain gorillas left in the world – we were mock-charged by one of them along the side of the road in Uganda. There are thousands of people in Mozambique who live and farm along land that is at sea level and already prone to flooding – we slept in their villages and shared cashew bee...
