Such a nerd at heart...

Ah, I love libraries. I don't know what it is about them?

It's always fun to stroll around and see what books

you gravitate to.

I Want A House...

Twin Sister - "I Want A House" from Ian Perlman on Vimeo.

Simple...

I learn that potentially my entire life can be lived

meditatively. And it seems to me I should learn

to live it so. To me this means that I will be

calmly, courageously, alertly intelligently,

energetically present for each moment of my living

until life is done with this body.

Rumi...

“I am only the house of your beloved,
not the beloved herself:
true love is for the treasure,
not for the coffer that contains it.”
The real beloved is that one who is unique,
who is your beginning and your end.
When you find that one,
you’ll no longer expect anything else:
that one is both the manifest and the mystery.
That one is the lord of the states of feeling,
dependent on none:
month and year are slaves to that moon.
When He bids the “state,”
it does His bidding;
when that one wills, bodies become spirit."

Something to ponder...

The other day i was reading the latest issue of "Mother Earth News'

and came across this article. It's called "Wabi-Sabi".

It's a Japanse philosophy of appreciating things that

are imperfect, primitive and incomplete.

Intimately tied to Zen Buddhism and the Japanese way

of tea, wabi-sabi is a subtly spiritual philosophy that

sees home as a sanctuary- a simple place devoid of clutter, disturbance

and distraction.

Honoring modest living and the ever changing moment,

wabi-sabi finds beauty in imperfection and

profundity of nature, accepting the cycle of growth, decay

and death. It's slow and uncluttered, and regards

authenticity above all.

Cultivate craft- making and growing things yourself

is a gentle rebellion against globalized mass production.

do not listen to the media; don’t believe what you’re told. do your research; seek out material, and learn for yourself.
It’s ALL bullshit; Not one single case of lung cancer, it does NOT kill brain cells (read about it), and no overdoses/deaths.
400,000 deaths/year from cigarettes (legal) – 80,000 a year from alcohol (legal) – 0 deaths ever from cannabis(illegal).

I think it's great to be not of this world. In your own identity. It's

a beautiful thing. Be your own man or be your own woman. Live

your own life. What's more important than that?
