Niente

Post by creativesoul » September 11th, 2011, 1:23 pm

Nada- nothing
Sneeze
Releasing all that never belonged to me
Sending it away and to it's owners

These energies do not exist for our manipulation
Respect, awe and compassion direct me
Like women wrapped in shawls
Carrying prayers
There is no more nothing that will touch me
Where u
Come from?
There is healing
Only
Choices
If a person knows
What is wrong
And choose to do whatever
Then that is a choice
Healing requires diligence
Have to act like you want it
Do things which encourage
Posative results
Obsessing on what you loose
Gain or give away
Has little to do with
The inside
Those things really do not change the quality
Of life- if living by virtues, values- commitment
Bring gifts of a value proceeding priceless
The heart is powerful
Loving people does not mean taking on Thier stuff
Walking away from someone else's lesson
Is the best I can do sometimes
Even if they hate me
Because I am not docile
Did belong to a tribe
That survived because they knew how to fight
Those ancestors did not bring me this far
To drop me into nothing
These beautiful loving souls
Want the best for everyone
Even those that chose nothing
Over something
The balance is yours
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

Anna (Kailashana) posted an interesting article from the Buddhist community on doing nothing, recently.....a most challenging endeavor.....and on another front doing nothing is surely better than doing harm........humans seem to really struggle with being alone....I need it......but I wouldn't want it all the time....cause I'd just be hanging out with a nut all the time...ha.......I like this on many levels.....
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

thank you- been a road with bumps and flat tires- but they say-'it is the journey' gotta believe that
