Surfing with Wind

[O Donna]

You and I exist, no opposition. The only choice for opposition then is nonexistent.

That does not seem fair.











Is a good dog one that is ‘minding’ ?

[O Donna]

Silly thoughts, pay them no mind useless the feather t…..








........................

That hidden cannot acknowledge something else that is hidden without giving itself away. Giving itself away negates the ‘hidden’ part of the contention.





Next-level hide and seek game, if you ask me.

Wait, you did not see me and I was not here.

[Anka]

Being largely self-founded spiritually and still continuous one self-substantiating in the breadth of the simple opportunity to be, without an amplification, precisely because a large tree needs time to grow, I consider this to be one of the places where the surfing of the soul is equivalent to the presence of the heart.
Because regardless of the subject, the simple acceptance in itself denotes the movement of a good community, only sharing ideas and inspiring change.
If I don't want to breathe, I might not say anything, but I breathe and I want to inspire and encourage people, as well as I can, as I can breathe, I think it's worth a try.
I earn my living (not my money) from something I think is worth doing in the hope of better for everyone, why? because if I worry every day I keep myself busy with a cradle of fear, it keeps me rocking, but it doesn't get me anywhere.

I imagine the world in the rhythm of life about everything that is alive, it makes me understand that the most beautiful and essential part of life is a whole connection with more than what is in front of us.
If small and nice things can't soften our souls, then what can?
Of course I still recover, and sometimes it's hard for me to get my socks on my feet in the morning, but I don't get angry and instead, I take a walk through the grass full of dew in the middle of a cool autumn, because my legs are always "frozen" anyway.
Tenderness is the charm of freedom, and it can be offered to anyone, including us, if we feel the need for at least 10 minutes only for ourselves or for others, why not offer our joy?

We have the right to invest in ourselves just as we have the right to offer something good for others, because every story matters and each one is worth listening to, it just depends maybe how we can know how to listen. And for life it is not easy for anyone , I could not have had any depth in my smile if I did not really know what suffering also means.

As long as the child within us is still alive, we are human.

The veil of forgetfulness sure is quite strong here on Earth and for a reason. I too get attached to my story and perhaps that is how it is meant to be. Once again everything feels so ”fresh” and new even though we have been in this situation countless times before, some a little bit more than others. Surprise is the name of the game, if we remembered everything then there would be no point to the game of life. We are here to evolve our consciousness and polarize more. However, as Buddha long ago said that we suffer because of our attachments and ignorance about our true nature. We are what we imagine ourselves to be.

Every physical living being is subject to eventual decay, illness and death. We have to acknowledge that fact and still it’s very hard not to get attached as a feeling human being. The more strongly and intensely we feel things, the more we also feel love and pain. That’s the price of sensitivity. Without feelings we might as well only be cold mechanical robots, which materialistic scientists and philosophers seem to think that we are. Maybe they are? Who knows. I sure know that I’m not a machine, I’m a living conscious being which extends beyond my physical existence. That is not an opinion, that is what I have experienced to be real.

Now everything comes and goes. Civilizations come and go, they flourish and fall… Maybe that will happen to ours too. Nothing is more infinite than human stupidity and all you have to do is to read the news to realize this. We are literally in a madhouse and the inmates are running the asylum and have been doing that for eons. No wonder we have done all that we have done in the name of whatever. Humanity has been stumbling in the dark for thousand of years. It is time to choose a new path of thriving or fade into oblivion.

"Great numbers of children will be born who understand electronics and atomic power as well as other forms of energy. They will grow into scientists and engineers of a new age which has the power to destroy civilization unless we learn to live by spiritual laws." ~ Edgar Cayce

"The insanity of the collective egoic mind, amplified by science and technology, is rapidly taking our species to the brink of disaster. Evolve or die: that is our only choice now." ~ Eckhart Tolle

Some might say that this hopeless species of ours is beyond redemption as we have a history of endless violence, but I don’t think that is completely true. There is goodness to be found everywhere in humanity if we just dig deep enough. The question is that will we be able to awaken from or our collective sleep and insanity before we commit something that is irreversible. Probably no one knows that. We can only do our best and be the light we wish to see in the world.

We cannot realize our true nature with intellect, which was given to us as a mere tool. We must descend from the mindspace to heartspace and then we will understand, but not intellectually. Our true nature is loving awareness, everything else is just pretense. If we show compassion and at least try to express the will of the divine - which is real love, on this Earth then we surely must be doing something right. It’s not even the end goal that would matter so much as the intention. At least we would have tried to make the world a better place even in minuscule ways, that’s what I practice anyways. While trying to keep my hope alive. Every day I ask to become closer to my Creator and that I am able to express the will of the divine as a servant here on Earth. I might fail, but God knows that I tried. I pray that I might be able to do what I am meant to do here.

"The idea of the Bodhisattva is the one who out of his realization of transcendence participates in the world. The imitation of Christ is joyful participation in the sorrows of the world." ~ Joseph Campbell

‎"Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received only what you have given: a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage." ~ St. Francis of Assisi

"Out of suffering comes the serious mind; out of salvation, the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance faith. Patient endurance attends to all things." ~ Teresa of Avila

"All day I think about it, then at night I say it.
Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea.
My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,
And I intend to end up there.

This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I’ll be completely sober. Meanwhile,
I’m like a bird from another continent, sitting in this aviary.
The day is coming when I fly off,
But who is it now in my ear who hears my voice?
Who says words with my mouth?

Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul?
I cannot stop asking.
If I could taste one sip of an answer,
I could break out of this prison for drunks.
I didn’t come here of my own accord, and I can’t leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.

This poetry. I never know what I’m going to say.
I don’t plan it.
When I’m outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.

We have a huge barrel of wine, but no cups.
That’s fine with us. Every morning
We glow and in the evening we glow again.”

~ Rumi

There is this ongoing dance, especially with a direct look. During this particular looking is when it could have just started though it feels like a lifetime due to the nature of 'the Dance' (or pick your poison).

Wake up [réveillez-vous] , thank you for the music, I really enjoyed this moment of listening, of energetic fusion with myself, of relaxation of the muscles, of the body, of penetrating into the substance of the dna, the particles of the universe and my soul are one at this time. We all need it, it's very precious and it's worth for all the gold in the world feel good

Life forms, serving in the dynamics of the work of art dedicated to chance.

Here in the country, I have been accustomed for many years to say Hello to every person I pass by. It is actually a custom I have met in the area, most of them are many good people. You always find something to talk about. About anything. But you always have to start with "how is your life for you and your family?"

"Normally", this would already be too personal, if the question did not come in such a natural and honest way that your heart softens when you see their innocence.

I found here a wide space in Nature, a wide space in human nature, a wide place where I can grow, breathing the air and inhaling the magic of the starry sky, a place where I can build the home of my soul, even if sometimes I have the impression that I would like to take my bike and carol "the whole world"

I love the old and imperfect house I live in, here I live in harmony, I think that at my age, if I have the health and the daily bread and a roof over my head, I can have a good life.
All people are the same, if we are thirsty we want to drink water, if we are hungry, we want to have food, if we are cold, we want to have heat, we are not so different in fact.
I listen to the news, but sometimes I don't listen for a few days, because I simply want the freedom of my reality that belongs to me.
We need our solitude, as we proceed by learning something through

I have fruit in the garden, and clean water from the fountain, the few tourists who pass by here, are invited to serve themselves, if I want to give something, I want to give wholeheartedly. And for that I don't need to be famous, beautiful or rich, it's just me and it's ok, it's my life, as it is.
Look out the window, and then in your soul, don't we have the opportunity to live only this moment?

If we have all survived history, and come out of the trenches of so many wars and can tell real stories in the grace of humanity, then faith in the better becomes a required statement at high speed of will.
The world is the place of a community, so we have to take care of each other, if we were wondering how we got to our age, I think the first thing we could think about would be to look at those around us and we must thank them for being with us, if we can do that with others who inherit life, it's even better. It's never too late or impossible.

If the possibility of being human has sometimes brought us to the impossible, then, for human nature, even the impossible is enough to make things better.

[O Donna]

So a thought stream came through to share here.

“I/ we and surroundings are living art.”

Which continued as follows:

That even if not intentional, what we do, no matter how banal, is art in the making. Maybe that is just my right brain thinking but the left is considering it plausible.

The right says...

"November 20 - International Day of the Rights of the Child"



How much can a Convention in 54 articles guarantee the end of the suffering of all children in the world(?)



They are the change, we must ensure their better future.

[Wind]

We like to be individuals, now don't we? Free to be ourselves, what ever that might be. To be "different", even though sometimes that feeling of difference may feel like alienation which is not a very pleasant kind of feeling. The feeling of separateness is never a very fulfilling condition.

Many desperately desire to be like others, others desire to be something compeletely different. "If only I was normal like everyone else." "Let me be myself!" "I want to be special." But you already are special. You don't need to be anything to prove that. You can be, but you don't have to be. Your essence is valuable and precious beyond any measure because by your very nature you are the divine expression of love. How could anything be more valuable than that? You can't put a price tag on that.

What is normal? What is this thing called me? It's a point of consciousness with collected subjective experiences, hence a story. There are so many stories. Often human stories are filled with countless tragedies and joys, there are endless amounts of novels. Books come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and as we all know, we humans often like to judge books by their covers. Shouldn't they be judged by their content instead? Over seven billion stories on this planet. Every single story has it's dreams and aspirations.

I would dare to say that the one common feature that unites them all is the desire to find peace and love ultimately. To find meaning in existence. That's the beauty of Creation, I suppose.

One moment

I think we can have an emotional moment of connection with what that moment of ingenuity could mean for our awakening, it can happen quite often through a kind of realization that we are connected in this part of this great consciousness.

We are immersed in the most vibrant atmosphere of life here on earth anyway, and around us we can sometimes recognize joy but most of all it means catching and sincerely recognizing that moment of contemplation, when everything seems to stand still for less than a second, when everything turns into appreciation for that moment and for the resolution of the experience of that moment.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of Nature and realize how complete and small I am, almost irrelevant compared to the energy of Nature, just as a collective consciousness should be great.

It is as if an entire Universe could never recognize what I portray in this world, unless I somehow imagine that I am part of a much greater energy, that of us, of humans, indescribable, incomprehensible, perpetual fluid in one infinite, priceless, luminous energy of our life, together with all the energy of living beings, including Nature and the Planet.
I know it may sound like a beautiful kindergarten drawing, but in terms of possibilities and opportunities, why couldn't it be a good last reality?



What can be the fundamental shift for each of us and how experienced or prepared we are to meet the moment?
When we discover ourselves, what we used to do for ourselves, we now certainly do it to offer something beautiful to others, for the pleasure of always giving gifts, without asking for anything in return.

I couldn't write much about my moments of awakening, it might be a seemingly selfish form of storytelling, but I can say that after all I've experienced, I've definitely lost my heart writing somewhere in the wave of billions of children's hearts and people, I feel like I want to write billions of lucky notes for each life, getting lost in this world for how long I have left to find my soul completely. If this world deserves me, then at least do my best to count the effort.

If we do not respect people as we should, then they are lost, and their loss is our loss, we must respect any form of life as long as we know that we are not able to reproduce it in its essence "as it is ".

The moment to come home is the moment when we return and come back to us, the joy, the space can be the feeling that it is actually something real, the place may be exactly the moment that brings us the certainty that it actually "is".



I really love what I offer now, and this is my good moment.
