The mythical sacred firebird

Another great day in NYC. As with most conferences I attend, I seem to always gain more in the unofficial conversations — the TweetDeck backchannel, the standup introductions in the hotel lobbies, the random <<socios y negocios>> that you meet over breakfast, lunch or dinner. I got to see some cool fledgling technology today, I received from a thoughtful friend a signed copy of Adam Penenberg’s Viral Loop, and I got to see my radio hero, Ira Glass, eating close by at Momofuku’s noodle bar in the East Village. And I got to eat David Chang’s scrumptiously complex black tea ice cream with almond topping.

Most importantly, I watched a real live Lenten meditatio play out: in the cab and later around the table, my dinnermates and I got to hear the compelling tale of a storyteller, a wünderkind 18-year-old filmmaker back in Texas. And the sublime part of the conversation was that in the simple act of listening to a friend tell this kid’s story, all sorts of other stories began to flow and commingle around the table, each around the theme of journeying and letting narrative flow, and somewhere between the courses of amazing tamales, billowy, pillow-y soft pork bun appetizers and steaming bowlfuls of momofuku ramen, we were reminded of art and finding oneself, and how these virtues can trump deep-rutted bildungsroman paths of college and commerce.

In the telling, I heard about a serendipitous bird sighting that might as well have been Sufjan’s ivory-billed woodpecker, and was reminded that a phoenix can only show its resurrected self once it has passed through the cycle of ashes and death.

Had a great day today. Woke up to the song of Manhattan honking and traffic six floors below me at the home of my gracious host Keith. After a breakfast at a nice diner just off Broadway (up near The Cloisters), I said good-byes & headed south on the A Train and made my way to my hotel here at Times Square. I was able to spend the day walking and looking. Late afternoon I drew the sketchy self portait you see here, then later Rob and I met up and had an amazing dinner at Becco on W. 46th. Afterwards we met common friend and Brooklyn denizen Danny at a tavern between Broadway and 7th. I'm typing on my phone, so I'm not going to go into greater detail than that :) anyhow, it's nice to be settled in.

My body has been in Newark for an hour and a half; my luggage is getting ready to touch down momentarily (I hope) :-)

imposition of ashes

my work schedule placed me up the road in austin tonight, and after work my friend bob carlton and I made our way to journey: an imperfect faith community — for ash wednesday. an artistic lenten prayer space had been set up by lisa carlton and some of her journey conspirators. the low-light iphone pics I’m posting don’t do it justice: it was both fertile and holy ground. a good place for letting go, for exhaling, for feeling sand grains run through one’s fingers and for imagining hour-glassine time passages, a moment for examining the familiar cruciform shape and pondering this human condition, the almost, the not yet, the wait-wait, the go now.

Can you teach a robot what makes a good sketch? Which lines to consider, and which lines to avoid? The Aikon Project is coming pretty close.

Fool In Rome

—inspired by a lyric from Eric Peters about young Martin Luther’s 1510 trip to see the Holy City.

They were both beggars, the young boy and the old woman. I presume they¹re homeless. I¹ve been watching them for the last few weeks. They always meet up at the same spot every morning, near the fountain in front of the intersection.
