Surfing with Wind

[Wind]

Don't be a drag, just be a queen or a king of your own life (not the tyrannical kind).

And There She Comes Wearing The UNIVERSE In Her Eyes

- DEVYANI CHAUHAN

Dearest Anca,
You have the galaxy in your eyes,
and the universe in your heart.

Cannot emphasize this enough.......

Thought of the lyrics of this song on a deeper level while it was playing in the background.

Remember the time

To remember the time is like watching time/ space collapse between
presenting,
in effect,
that little to no time had passed

"Each life creates endless ripples."

"Silence is often the best thing to say."

"The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria."

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities."

"The mistakes (of leaders) are amplified by the numbers who follow them without question. Charismatic leaders tend to build up followings, power structures and these power structures tend to be taken over by people who are corruptible. I don't think that the old saw about 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely' is accurate: I think power attracts the corruptible."

"Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame."

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

"Technology is both a tool for helping humans and for destroying them. This is the paradox of our times which we're compelled to face."

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

"If you want immortality, then deny form. Whatever has form has mortality. Beyond form is the formless, the immortal."

"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic."

"The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand."

"When a wise man does not understand, he says: "I do not understand." The fool and the uncultured are ashamed of their ignorance. They remain silent when a question could bring them wisdom."

"No matter how much we ask after the truth, self-awareness is often unpleasant. We do not feel kindly toward the Truthsayer."

"A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken."

"There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and oppression to develop psychic muscles."

"Life - all life - is in the service of life. Necessary nutrients are made available to life by life in greater and greater richness as the diversity of life increases. The entire landscape comes alive, filled with relationships and relationships within relationships."

"If enough of us believe, a new thing can be made to exist. Belief structure creates a filter through which chaos is sifted into order."

"To stand alone against all adversity is the most sacred moment of existence."

"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience."

~ Frank Herbert, Dune

“Apollo?” I guessed…
He put a finger to his lips. “I’m incognito. Call me Fred.”
A god named Fred?”

Unusual weather we're having ain't it



Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen



When the snow lay roundabout
Deep and crisp and even

Unbelievable? A momentary daze?
That too, a state of mind.

"Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could." ~ Louise Erdrich

I needed Louise Erdrich at this moment in time.
Lessons can be hard but I loved anyway.
