Everything Has To Go
“All of us are like eagles who have forgotten that we know how to fly. The teachings are reminding us who we are and what we can do. They help us notice that we’re in a nest with a lot of old food, excrement, and stale air. From when we were very young we’ve had this longing to see those mountains in the distance and experience that big sky and the vast ocean, but somehow we got trapped in our nest, just because we forgot that we knew how to fly.
We are like eagles, but we have on underwear and pants and shirt and socks and shoes and a hat and coat and boots and mittens and an iPod and dark glasses, and it occurs to us that we could experience that vast sky, but we’d better start taking off some of this stuff. So we take off the coat and the hat and its cold, but we know that we have to do it, and we teeter on the edge of the nest and take off. Then we find out for ourselves that everything has to go. You just can’t fly when you are wearing socks and shoes and coats and pants and underwear. Everything has to go.”

FontCapture Turns Your Handwriting into a Font
Go to FontCapture and download their font template. Once downloaded, print it off and carefully fill in the single-sheet grid. You don’t need to fill in every slot for FontCapture to create your font. If you don’t use letters like ó, ò, or ñ in your daily writing, feel free to skip over them.
Once you’ve filled out the template, you upload it to FontCapture and it processes your handwriting into a font for personal use. That’s all there is to it, but it’s a pretty neat way of giving an image or document a consistent look, but a look you crafted yourself. FontCapture is a free service and requires no signup.
