penned in moon dust

One candle shone brightly

on a lonely face

where a smile once belonged

One candle shone brightly

through solitary leaf

worn by days

one candle shone brightly

a tiny creature

burdened and alone

one candle shone brightly

on a world

reaching for the light

fall light

Marathon training latest: First injury, then triumph

Fit and Feminist

Before we begin, a quick note:

This will be my last post for 2013.  Like a lot of people, I tend to go into hibernation during the last few weeks of the year, partly because I am all but paralyzed by overconsumption of food and drink, but partly because I am reflecting on the previous year and considering what I would like to accomplish with the upcoming year.  One of the tasks I’ve undertaken as part of this process is to lay out a list of goals for my creative, personal and athletic lives, and to figure out concrete steps I can take to make those goals happen.  This blog figures heavily in those goals. I don’t want to go into details because I’ve found that nothing deflates my excitement for a project like talking about it, but I do hope that 2014 is the year when I can make…

Khalil Gibran on Lebanon

Hummus For Thought

2013-12-20 01_03_31-gibran-photo-3.jpg (875×1567)


“You have your Lebanon and its dilemma. I have my Lebanon and its beauty. Your Lebanon is an arena for men from the West and men from the East. My Lebanon is a flock of birds fluttering in the early morning as shepherds lead their sheep into the meadow and rising in the evening as farmers return from their fields and vineyards.

You have your Lebanon and its people. I have my Lebanon and its people. Yours are those whose souls were born in the hospitals of the West; they are as ship without rudder or sail upon a raging sea…. They are strong and eloquent among themselves but weak and dumb among Europeans.

They are brave, the liberators and the reformers, but only in their own area. But they are cowards, always led backwards by the Europeans. They are those who croak like frogs boasting that they have rid themselves of…

If You Shopped at Target Since Thanksgiving, Your Credit Card Was Probably Stolen: SFist

The data from some 40 million transactions at Target stores nationwide was stolen by cybercriminals in the last couple of weeks. As this security blogger first reported, the investigation is underway but it looks like the complete credit card information from every transaction between November 27 and December 15 had been collected by an outside party, via the company\’s point-of-sale systems.

The breach appears to have been a case of malware either unknowingly installed by a Target employee, or knowingly put there by an accomplice on the inside.
