Posted: 11/3/2009 4:57:42 AM | “I did not know I was on a search for passionate aliveness. I only knew I was lonely
and lost and that something was drawing me deeper beneath the surface of my life in
search of meaning. There is a hunger in people to go to those deep depths; to know
that our lives are sacred; that our hearts are truly capable of love. It is a yearning to
be all that we can be. A longing for what is real.”

Posted: 11/3/2009 6:45:55 PM | | "A laissez faire economy is maintained in an industrial era by the ignorant belief that the general welfare is best served by placing the least possible constraints on economic activity. The history of the past hundred years is a refutation of the theory; but it is still maintained, or is dying to lingering a death in a country as politically incompetent as our own." (Reinhold Niebuhr 1932) | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 6:49:18 PM | By your ignorance you see the world, you see the divisions. By your knowledge, you
see the Divine. It's in the seeing. Tilt this way you see Divine; tilt that way you see
everything frustrating, everything rubbish, everybody cruel, everything hopeless, and all that.

Posted: 11/9/2009 2:40:39 PM | "Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!"

Nature is incomprehensible at first,
Be not discouraged, keep on, there are divine things well envelop'd,
I swear to you there are divine beings more beautiful than words can tell."

Posted: 11/11/2009 1:03:17 PM | In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Author unknown, sometimes attributed to M. Grundler

Posted: 11/12/2009 7:23:46 AM | "You say You are Not a Seeker
You say you are not a seeker. With us you'll become one.
And if you're not a minstrel, with us you will sing.
If you are the richest, in love, you'll be bankrupt;
and if a lord, with us you'll be a slave.
One candle from this crowd will light a thousand candles.
Whether you are dead or alive, with us you will love.
Your feet unshackled, the way clearly revealed,
your whole being will laugh, like a rose in bloom.
The fallen seed becomes a tree;
in understanding this mystery, with us you'll fall.
I look into the mirror and see my
own beauty;
I see the truth of the universe
revealing itself as me."

His beak holds more than his belican.
He takes in his beak
Food enough for a week
But I'll be darned if I know how the helican.
