Here and Now...What's Happening?

[benevolentcrow]

This thread moves fast, blink of an eye and I am several pages behind. Lost power yesterday, on this morning, don't know for how long. Training for the possibilities... Amazing how you miss the little things so quickly. The water being on a well system (note to self, fill tub to flush toilet), coffee grinder (Arrrgh) note to self, grind some up for later. Grateful to have the experience, makes me more aware. Uh Oh, lights flickering! Glad I was able to have a hot bath and hot cup of coffee this morning. I am ready for the day! Hope all the villagers have a wonderful day!! Caw, Caw (crow talk for peace and love)!

This one is fun ... not only great classic rock but simply stunning eye candy photography from rain forest to mountain top and everything in between.

THE FOUNTAINHEAD in 5 seconds.
I found this video looking for the famous speech by Gary Cooper in "The Fountainhead".
A masterpiece of the goofy humor. Perfect and silly. ha, ha...

I have to admit that a lot of the time I have no clue what the h*ll people are talking about. ULLI

ha, ha.... i love your words. Seems to me very funny, indeed.

In spanish would be something like "Debo admitir que la mayoría de las veces, no tengo ni puta idea sobre qué habla la gente"

...ni PUTA idea??? I thought only Costa Ricans use that expression.

OK. A little mix and match. A known song played by one of my bands. The lead guitar player here is amazing. Maestro Mark, now deceased.

The song is Manic Depression rendered in full three piece band ferocity. Recorded live in Manhattan circa 1989.

[/QUOTE]Looks like a good and entertaining movie.
The only thing is that a movie about synchronicities can never work.
What makes a good synchronicity is the fact that it happened in REAL life where there are no screen writers creating those scenarios.

The other (real) synchronicity is about the story of the diver who was picked out
of the lake by the water bucket the fire fighting plane was carrying.

I read that story over ten years ago on a forum.
It started like this: after a large forest fire a charred body was found amongst the still smouldering tree trunks.
What was unusual was that he had on a diver suit, diving mask and flippers. The ocean was ten miles away.
So the police figured that the only way he could have ended up there was by being lifted out of the ocean while snorkeling.... by one of the fire-fighting plane's large water buckets.

There was quite a discussion about this story on that forum at the time. Someone said it had happened for real and another person said it was made up by someone with a rich fantasy life.
Ten years later we find the same story in the movie Magnolia.

So now we know where screen writers get their stories:
They read threads like this one.[/QUOTE]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ha, ha... and that same story i saw in an CSI VEGAS episode.

I'm sorry to disagree that a movie about synchronicities won't work. I understand what you mean. If you're deep in the movie, the synchronies are feel like almost in real life.
The master synchronicities now is Julio Medem. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133363/[/QUOTE]

First, Magnolia is not a movie about synchronicities.

Here it is "Los Amantes del Círculo Polar"-teaser-. Julio Medem works very well with synchronicities.
I couldn't find in english but doesn't matter.
Watch the images and listen to the music (Alberto Iglesias), there are enough powerful to transmit the energy of the film.

...so now I'm coming to what I've been meaning to share for some time.
There is a traditional Persian love story, from the 7th century,....that of Majnun and Layla. Famous story, like Romeo and Juliette is famous in the Anglo world.
Here is Baha'u'llahs version of it, with a more mystical explanation:
from the Valley of Knowledge (mentioned further up this thread.)

There was once a lover who had sighed for long years in separation from his beloved, and wasted in the fire of remoteness.
From the rule of love, his heart was empty of patience, and his body weary of his spirit; he reckoned life without her as a mockery, and time consumed him away. How many a day he found no rest in longing for her; how many a night the pain of her kept him from sleep; his body was worn to a sigh, his heart’s wound had turned him to a cry of sorrow.
He had given a thousand lives for one taste of the cup of her presence, but it availed him not.
The doctors knew no cure for him, and companions avoided his company; yea, physicians have no medicine for one sick of love,
unless the favor of the beloved one deliver him.
At last, the tree of his longing yielded the fruit of despair, and the fire of his hope fell to ashes.
Then one night he could live no more, and he went out of his house and made for the marketplace.
On a sudden, a watchman followed after him. He broke into a run, with the watchman following; then other watchmen came together, and barred every passage to the weary one.
And the wretched one cried from his heart, and ran here and there, and moaned to himself: “Surely this watchman is Izrá’íl, my angel of death, following so fast upon me; or he is a tyrant of men, seeking to harm me.”
His feet carried him on, the one bleeding with the arrow of love, and his heart lamented.
Then he came to a garden wall, and with untold pain he scaled it, for it proved very high; and forgetting his life, he threw himself down to the garden.

And there he beheld his beloved with a lamp in her hand, searching for a ring she had lost.
When the heart-surrendered lover looked on his ravishing love, he drew a great breath and raised up his hands in prayer, crying:
“O God! Give Thou glory to the watchman, and riches and long life.
For the watchman was Gabriel, guiding this poor one; or he was Isráfíl, bringing life to this wretched one!”

Indeed, his words were true, for he had found many a secret justice in this seeming tyranny of the watchman,
and seen how many a mercy lay hid behind the veil.
Out of wrath, the guard had led him who was athirst in love’s desert to the sea of his loved one,
and lit up the dark night of absence with the light of reunion.
He had driven one who was afar, into the garden of nearness, had guided an ailing soul to the heart’s physician.

Now if the lover could have looked ahead, he would have blessed the watchman at the start, and prayed on his behalf,
and he would have seen that tyranny as justice; but since the end was veiled to him,
he moaned and made his plaint in the beginning.
Yet those who journey in the garden land of knowledge, because they see the end in the beginning,
see peace in war and friendliness in anger.

...ni PUTA idea??? I thought only Costa Ricans use that expression.

My son's aunt always has a boyfriend, no matter what. 1 day, 1 month or years. She stays 'active'. Since Spanish is spoken as a second language my playfulness made me coin a term for her. Putia. I have only shared it with her sister the mother of my son. She was calling her, puta tia. I think mine flows better.

As for original music:

Best cranked up for the effects.

Nice melody and lilting rhythm. The family involvement was especially endearing.

I enjoyed y'all's music, thanks for posting! I''l have to give them another listen on the stereo at home after work. Ernie, your daughter has a beautiful voice. Kiwi6 is pretty neat, too.

So lovely hearing everyone's singing voices. I just love it. Thankyou guys.

Belle loved your last post it rang true.
Especially the language part, that's for sure one of the
functions here for me too . Being alone for so long and
over many life times too one can get a little rusty in social
interaction and communication . What I'm finding is that
I have to constantly keep at it . I think confidence plays
a big part too. Having a venue where I can learn and
grow in a grpup is something I have been looking for in
3D for eons.

It's funny too how you can take for granted and dismiss
how far you have come and what you have learnt until
you start to help others and put the etheric into words
where they then become more soild reality .
It really helps to build more strength i"m finding .
The online group I just started working with is also
great psychotherapy as everything is recorded and you
get to sit in witness to your own verbal interactions
for me this is tough going as I can be really over self
critical and too much of a perfectionist. This is my current
struggle . Navigating through the social parts
is a greater learning than the actual course I'm
signed up for . For me things can work in reverse to
most people, it's the small things that throw me, the
big things i can manage and thrive at. It's odd .
