Retreat Schedule: Monday-\u00adThursday, Oct 6-\u00ad9 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Full fathom five thy father lies; <\/em>
\n of his bones are coral made <\/em>
\nThose are pearls that were his eyes; <\/em>
\n Nothing of him that doth fade <\/em>
\nBut suffer a sea-\u00ad\u2010change, <\/em>
\nInto something rich and strange <\/em>
\nSea nymphs hourly ring his knell: <\/em>
\n Ding dong…<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Wm Shakespeare, The Tempest as quoted by Michael Taussig in \u201cPearls,\u201d Simryn Gill<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know I couldn\u2019t do it, so I did it.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Bre Pettis, MakerBot CEO, as quoted in The <\/em>
\nEvergreen State College Magazine <\/em><\/p>\n

[W]hen I no longer strive to make myself real through things, I find myself “actualized” <\/em>
\nby them, says Dogen. What we fear as nothingness is not really nothingness, for that is <\/em>
\nthe perspective of a sense-\u00ad\u2010of-\u00ad\u2010self anxious about losing its grip on itself. Letting go of <\/em>
\nmyself and merging with that nothingness leads to something else: when consciousness <\/em>
\nstops trying to catch its own tail, I become nothing, and discover that I am everything -\u00ad\u2010-\u00ad\u2010 <\/em>
\nor, more precisely, that I can be anything.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Dogen as interpreted by David Loy in \u201cIndra\u2019s Postmodern Net\u201d<\/p>\n
