The trailer for "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is up. It looks awesome, of course. If it's not evident, I have full-blown Pottermania. I've read them all. The books are genius and the movies as faithful to the source material as movies can possibly be. You still need to read the books, though, to fully comprehend what Rowling has put forth, which could be summed up as "Alchemy for Dummies." Potter is much deeper and much more rich in knowledge than is obvious at first glance, as this site, Harry Potter for Seekers, makes abundantly clear.

Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything. -- Rainer Maria Rilke So, I'm laying here, immobilized with the head-cold from hell, and it occurs to me what an ego-killer illness is. My husband refers to these episodes with cold or flu as "hitting the reset button." That sums it up well. These are massive interruptions in the momentum of our lives. You can do little but let everything come to a screaming halt, and even when you recover, you can't just pick up where you left off. Not completely. Some threads are broken. Some projects you wished to accomplish have already passed their freshness date and can't be taken up again. Even if it's a day or two, a chunk of your life is gone, never to be restored. As I lay here, it's hard not to focus on all the things I cannot do. I need to unload and reload the dishwasher but I can't seem to stand upright for more than a few minutes and even that is torture. Shower. (See previous explanation.) Eat. My taste buds are compromised so everything sounds dreadful. It requires too much effort, anyway. Clean the house. (The standing and walking thing, again.) I'd love to do some yoga, but... the standing... oh, and the forward bends that would cause my sinus headache to reach critical mass. Or, just blog this wonderful article on yoga a friend sent me, but right now, I'm having trouble remembering what I even thought about it when I read it.
