Surfing with Wind

[Anka]

You need to be just you. Intention and destiny seem to meet seldom.
What we intend to do will not necessarily be the place where we will land next, no one is infallible in life, watching rainbows can sometimes be like grounding, or making a stock with everything that is beautiful and good around us. Take up the space you deserve!

This moment here, is the best opportunity to work from here on out. The only prospect might be your name for what you and those around you, know you are, just sit there, rejoicing in it and happiness can be reduced to that.

"And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this,I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few, But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do, And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course, Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall, And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing to think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way,Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has not
To say the things he truly feels, And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows, And did it my way

Yes, it was my way" Frank Sinatra



In a way, it doesn't matter what I say, except that I am my only responsibility and focus in what I do, and for of all the loneliness in the world, love is the most important thing to me.
The difference between being alone and feeling alone is huge. Being alone can be essential to self-discovery in favor of others, feeling alone is painful among so many people around us, and it is such a long way for people can make you finally feel real, sometimes it lasts even a lifetime. So everything I put on the "turmoil of my existence" is instead all my dedication.

“It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.” Edgar Allan Poe

Aging beautifully...“Do I dare Disturb the universe?”


“My friend, blood shaking my heart
The awful daring of a moment’s surrender
Which an age of prudence can never retract
By this, and this only, we have existed
Which is not to be found in our obituaries
Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider
Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor
In our empty rooms”
― T.S. Eliot, The Wasteland, Prufrock and Other Poems



“These fragments I have shored against my ruins”
― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land and Other Poems

There is still time, pass the freedom to share and care



“In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”



“There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.” Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace



“it's much better to do good in a way that no one knows anything about it.” Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

I know

But, what if you’re in too deep to know what you see

If

If

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.

It’s been said

Eyes (I) are the window to your soul.



Imagine how impressive the soul would have to be for that to be?

Unimaginable.

(but then again, it all depends one’s definition of such things)

In case you've already thought about whether or not you'll come here again, I'm whispering to you: "You're coming! You know why? Because it's fun! And the last thing you're going to hear is: "Let's do it again!"
Have a truly amazing day, my dear. Be sure to engage in all that brings joy and contentment into your heart, for life isn’t very long.



A sky of stars in green tears
They come in the form of fire from the body you see
I take another step in thousands of blankets and thoughts
I just put intention beads in white pearls and turn them into rows
I step on my last step and I feel like time is breaking
A drop of a rain of words touches me
When pearls are scattered in many areas of white interest
The words light and fire come before me in galaxies in nonlinear forms of the universe of records
Magic… happens to us, in each other's arms
everywhere a sky is being prepared,
in every tissue, in every cell, in every atom
there is Happiness itself, which longs
to be decomposed into an infinity of universes.

We sip our words, with the speed of a thought,
We slip them through the eyes of the mind
With the speed of light and in axis oriented in R> r
I go out in front of me, I give myself love and luck
Letters of you like fire flow through my veins
The sparks ignite in my flames the last sheet that still sustains me
A white water lily of pearls smoothly floats elegantly supports me
I feel the boat of my soul returning to hatch on a shore
I have decomposed happiness into atoms, and into each of them,
eternity nestled with its eyes,

Is our song like a whisper of the Earth, our eternity opens our eyes.
I catch myself in the dance of the lyrics of the white night spinning around me
I fall asleep or maybe I'll go back to counting white pearls
A finger touches my clay body in my mind, I have six hours left
A crossroads on the shore is waiting for me to return soon
In a flower of promise in a tea drops a single word
And in musical notes on my body I tickle a mark
I pass on everything I feel from note to note and murmur an exhortation
When the stars freeze in the sky, the light is absorbed in dreams like a holiday
The poems are a knot-by-knot mystery of twinning in resemblance.

Liminal Spaces || The Adventure || Part 1

"Liminal Spaces" is an atmospheric and oddly surreal film series. Minimal music, no dialogue, not much happens, in fact nothing happens ... the adventure begins ...

When real things become unreal and unreal things become real, the flavor is one of a whirlwind romance.







Drive-by Miming/ Drive-by Memeing, an odd sense of familiarity.

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."

"Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."

"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law."

~ The Kybalion

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me, yeah

Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world, is a new world
And a bold world for me, yeah-yeah

"Each day of human life contains joy and anger, pain and pleasure, darkness and light, growth and decay. Each moment is etched with nature’s grand design-do not try to deny or oppose the cosmic order of things."

"One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train."

"Study the teachings of the pine tree, the bamboo, and the plum blossom. The pine is evergreen, firmly rooted, and venerable. The bamboo is strong, resilient, unbreakable. The plum blossom is hardy, fragrant, and elegant."

"The penetrating brilliance of swords, wielded by followers of the Way, strikes at the evil enemy, lurking deep within, their own souls and bodies."

"The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. To smash, injure, or destroy is the worst thing a human being can do. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter – it is the Art of Peace, the power of love."

"All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together."

"All things, material and spiritual, originate from one source and are related as if they were one family. The past, present, and future are all contained in the life force. The universe emerged and developed from one source, and we evolved through the optimal process of unification and harmonization."

"Peace originates with the flow of things - its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path."

"Be grateful even for hardship, setbacks, and bad people. Dealing with such obstacles is an essential part of training in the Art of Peace."

"Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love."

If you have life in you, you have access to the secrets of the ages, for the truth of the universe resides in each and every human being.

"Your spiritual developement is a divine path that leads to truth, goodness and beauty; it is a spiritual path reflecting the unlimited, absolute nature of the universe
and the ultimate grand design of creation."

"Life is a divine gift. The divine is not something outside of us; it is right in our very center; it is our freedom. In our training, we learn the real nature of life and death. When life is victorious, there is birth; when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for peace."

"Mankind's role is to fulfil his heaven-sent purpose through a sincere heart that is in harmony with all creation and loves all things."

"All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love."

"True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly!"

Often a word such as ‘paradise’ or ‘reality’ find qualification in such ways as FOOL’S paradise and VIRTUAL reality.

Redundancy creeps in as a two-worded tautology.

This post picks up with hearing the lyrics from ‘oops I did it again, got lost in the game’ in my head

Richard Thompson dialogue before the song is great.

Googled ‘got lost in the game’

Arriving at urban dictionary with the following entry:

I lost the game
The Game is an abstract concept. It involves no tangible objects, nor is it played on any physical medium. It exists in the minds of those who play it, and it never ends. That's right, you can never win The Game (though this is debatable).

In order to lose the game, you have to think about the game. Upon thinking about the game, you lose and must announce that you've lost. This forces others to lose the game, and spreads the game to new people.

So, you are now playing the game. You will soon forget about this definition, and maybe sometime soon be reminded of it somehow, thereby losing the game.

I’d like to rename it: Enlightenment’s Paradox.
