How It REALLY All Began

Eve was sitting in a corner in the garden. "Lord, I have a problem."

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"I know that You created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just not happy."

"And why is that Eve?"

"Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples."

"Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create man for you."

"Man? What is that Lord?"

"A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat, and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster, and will like to hunt and kill things. I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy your physical needs. He will be witless, and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think properly."

"Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch Lord?"

"Well, you can have him on one condition."

"And what's that Lord?"

"As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant, and self-admiring, so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first.   And it will be our little secret.  You know, "girl to girl"!!

connections

“All men and all women are connected by an energy which many people call love, but which is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built. This energy can’t be manipulated, it leads us gently forwards, it contains all we have to learn in this life. It we try to make it go in the direction we want, we end up desperate, frustrated, disillusioned, because that energy is free and wild. We could spend the rest of our life saying that we love such a person or thing, when the truth is that we are merely suffering because, instead of accepting love’s strength, we are trying to diminish it so that it fits the world in which we imagine we live.”

- Paulo Coelho 

potential

“There is much unexplored potential in each human being. We are not just flesh and bone or an amalgamation of conditionings. If this were so, our future on this planet would not be very bright. But there is infinitely more to life, and each passionate being who dares to explore beyond the fragmentary and superficial into the mystery of totality helps all humanity perceive what it is to be fully human. Revolution, total revolution, implies experimenting with the impossible. And when an individual takes a step in the direction of the new, the impossible, the whole human race travels through that individual.”

- Vimala Thakar

the miracle

“The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh

love is the cure

The real you is not a puppet that life pushes around, the real deep down you is the whole universe””

- Alan Watts

What is the necessity of giving up the world altogether? It is enough to give up the attachment to it.”

- Ramakrishna

Beautiful Conichalcite.., originally uploaded by Sea Moon.

Say “I love you” so I become more handsome
Because without your love, I’ll never be beautiful

Say “I love you” so that my fingers become gold
And my brow lightens like a lamp

Say “I love you” so that I turn
Into wheat or palms

Say it now and don’t hesitate
This kind of love can’t be delayed

Say “I love you” so that I become more sacred
So that my poetry becomes a bible

I’ll change the calendar if you love me
I’ll erase seasons and add new ones

I’ll end the old era
And build women kingdom instead

Say “I love you” so that my poems become
Water and my writings become afflatus

I’m a King, if you become my lover
Invading the stars with my ships and horses

Don’t be shy. This is my chance
To become a messenger between all lovers

-Translated: I’m Always Me

shared illness

“Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn’t we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it’s as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can’t explain his to us, and we can’t explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication… and there is the real illness.”

Consider re-defining your concept of love.

If I don't make it back from the city then

It is only because I am drawn away

This is a dream

“This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.”

- Rumi
