still walking and waking: two great videos

two great videos

These videos, which I watched from other people's blogs while I bed rested (thanks Don and Matt), go together. They are both hilarious. The first is a discussion of how spoiled technology has made us, and the second illustrates to me the opposing simplicity of community, of play, of spontaneously making something fun happen together.

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
