This is important

All the time we spend running around to trying to save the world as demanded by esoteric schools is really aimless. Nothing gets done on a personal level because single pointed attention is just not there. At the end of one's life one has not achieved one or the other!


The world is one huge place. There is nothing to save; noone to save. Nor can we even if we tried!
So we should spend this precious lifetime working on ourselves - this is the greatest way we can make a difference in the energetics of the world. By changing our energetic system. When we become enlightened the whole of humanity becomes enlightened a little and is nearer to salvation.

Seems plausible ...

SACRED PRESENCE OF LANDSCAPE

Water in a landscape is a fascinating thing as well. I often think that water is the tears of the earth’s joy and sadness. Every kind of water in a landscape has a different kind of tonality and a different kind of presence to it. You think of the stillness of a well, of the energy of a stream, of the totality of the ocean or the singularity and memory of a river. I also think that trees are incredible presences. There is incredible symmetry in a tree, between its inner life and its outer life, between its rooted memory and its external active presence. A tree grows up and grows down at once and produces enough branches to incarnate its wild divinity. It doesn’t limit itself – it reaches for the sky and it reaches for the source, all in one seamless kind of movement. So I think landscape is an incredible, mystical teacher, and when you begin to tune into its sacred presence, something shifts inside you. ~~ John O'Donohue  
 

Haircut rap

 By Valerie Bloom

Ah sey, ah want it short,
Short back an side,
Ah tell him man, ah tell him
When ah teck him aside,
Ah sey, ah want a haircut
Ah can wear wid pride
So lef it long on top
But short back an side.

Ah sey try an put a patten
In da shorter part,
Yuh could put a skull an crossbone,
Or an arrow through a heart,
Meck sure ah have enough hair lef ‘
Fe cover me wart,
Lef a likkle pon the top,
But the res keep short

Well, bwoy, him start to cut
An me settle down to wait,
Him was cuttin’ from seven
Till half past eight,
Ah was startin to get worried
‘Cause ah see its getting late,
But then him put the scissors down
Sey, ‘there you are mate 

Well, ah did see a skull an' a 
Criss-cross bone or two,
But was me own skull an' bone
That was peepin' through,
Ah look jus' like a monkey
Ah did see once at the zoo,
Him say, 'What's de matter, Tammy,
Don't yuh like the hair-do?"

Well, ah feel me heart stop beatin'
When me look pon me reflection,
Ah  feel like somet'ing  frizzle up
Right in me middle section.
Ah look aroun' fe somewhey
Ah could crawl an' hide
The day I meck me brother cut
Me hair short back an' side. 

 

To have striven, to have made an effort, to have been true to certain ideals -- this alone is worth the struggle. We are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, life.

Every decision you make - every decision - is not a decision about what to do. It's a decision about Who You Are. When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes. - Neale Donald Walsh

Mindfulness

Mindfulness helps you go home to the present. And every 
time you go there and recognize a condition of happiness 
that you have, happiness comes

Beautiful Red Fox

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between 2 “wolves” inside us all. One is Evil (fear). It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good (Love). It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

What Is Your Psychic Reading?

Life hasn't been exactly easy for you lately, but you are where you are supposed to be. The balance you are seeking will fall into place. The work that you have done, and are doing, will not go to waste. You will start to taste the sweet side of "bittersweet" that you have been craving. In your love life, and in your career as well, things are kind of on hold, and for good reason. Although you crave more emotional intimacy, and financial reward from your work, those things will come in time, when the balancing act is achieved. Exercise patience. You have had your fair share of hardship throughout your life, and when you come out of this confusing and chaotic time, you will be the leader and creative spirit others know you to be
