My Heart Burns Like Fire #22
Soyen Shaku, the first Zen teacher to come to America, said: "My heart burns like fire but my eyes are as cold as dead ashes." He made the following rules which he practiced every day of his life.
* In the morning before dressing, light incense and meditate.
* Retire at a regular hour. Partake of food at regular intervals. Eat with moderation and never to the point of satisfaction.
* Receive a guest with the same attitude you have when alone. When alone, maintain the same attitude you have in receiving guests.
* Watch what you say, and whatever you say, practice it.
* When an opportunity comes do not let it pass you by, yet always think twice before acting.
* Do not regret the past. Look to the future.
* Have the fearless attitude of a hero and the loving heart of a child.
* Upon retiring, sleep as if you had entered your last sleep. Upon awakening, leave your bed behind you instantly as if you had cast away a pair of old shoes.

Edward, Ed, Ted, Teddy, Teddy Boy
Edwardians, or “Teddy Boys” as they became known, are an English youth subculture that created a distinctive style by wearing clothes inspired by the Edwardian period that the tailors of Savile Row attempted to reintroduce after world war two. The term “Teddy Boy” came about as a result of a newspaper headline that shortened Edward to Teddy and subsequently to Teddy Boy. Below are a series of Teddy Boy photos from photographer Ben Watts that I find particularly interesting. The Teddy Boy subculture is a very unique phenomenon, similar in idea to the “rock and roll” revolution in America in the 1950s.

Tofu Chair
No, Yu-Ying Wu's "breathing chair" is not really a giant chunk of tasteless protein, but it will automatically form to your body as you sit, turning from tofu to armchair with the weight of your body. But beyond intriguing design, the chair is built from a springy plastic compound with enough resistance that it will actually help lift you out of the chair when standing, relieving some pressure from your knees.
This Chair is still in design.
