conditional definitions

"We have become convinced that the presence of particular thoughts, feelings, or actions is the only way we can really know if someone is Enlightened. The checklist of Enlightened attributes is both lengthy and complex. Is this really love, we ask, in the presence of a supposedly Enlightened being? Or bliss? Do they still have thoughts, we want to know, since we have heard that a mind empty of thoughts is surely a sign of spiritual advancement? And what is this? Is fear present? Well, the presence of fear proves they couldn't possibly having a true spiritual experience. In fact, however, the presence of fear means only that fear is present, and nothing more."

ane brun - headphone silence

I´m travelling
The wonderful loneliness
Of the headphone silence
Feels like no one can see me
They see right through me
Cuts me off
From the rest of the world

The useless strangers
Sharing my time and space
They might hear my humming
My tapping of fingers anyway
At least I have my thoughts all to myself
My contentness and the view

I see a rainbow complete
Resting its feet on the hill and the ground
Words as illustration to the sound
This is a hole in time
A couple of hours when the day is
More abstract than usually
I star in this movie
I play the part and unify
With the soundtrack in my head
It could be morning it could be night
I could be anywhere
The headphone silence
Which fills my head

Trecena (13-day period) Calli

The 13-day period Calli (House) is ruled by Itzpapalotl. The 13 days of this trecena are governed by the conflict between culture and nature: the native desire of human beings to maintain a lineage of customs and beliefs is periodically disrupted by the evolutionary leaps of nature. In this sense, nature is represented as the house into which we are born and culture as the house into which we move. These are 13 days of struggling to decide which house is really home. With every step forward, the warrior still stands at the center of the crossroads: the heart must be trained if it is to be a reliable compass. These are good days to focus on the future; bad days to focus on the past.

last night was full moon in aires

day before yesterday, driving down the 405 hill you could see one fire on the mountains bordering the north end of the san fernando valley; yesterday, there was one on the western hills. it is the season. there was a lot of fire energy hurtling around... fires are hard to control but they can be cleansing and healing and warm too... let it burn i say... today the fires were out and i cried this morning, the hot tears of the last eight weeks, and i wonder if there is an end.

yesssssss

The protector of day Coatl (Snake) and provider of the Shadow Soul or Tonalli is Chalchihuitlicue. Coatl is the day of the snaking river that always changes without changing. It signifies the fleeting moment of eternal water. A good day for humility, a bad day for acting on self-interests.
