3 nothings followed by 3 bad verses

nothing has any taste nothing has any smell nothing has any color desire is nothing more than lust love was a wave in high tide an ebbing current keeps dragging me along

It's Not About Survivial, It's About Flourishing

Hi G**. The Fool represents a free spirit with a lust for life, knowledge, and adventure, who has little fear of taking risks. Does this sound like your card? Innocence and naivety are associated with The Fool, for the young have no fear of new experiences or change. As you grow older you can lose that childish innocence and enthusiasm, becoming fearful and cynical of change and new experiences. The mind of The Fool is always open, an empty vessel eagerly waiting to be filled with new knowledge. Any experience, pleasant or challenging, is life knowledge that he accepts as part of his learning. The Fool does not sit on the fence waiting for life to come to him, he always takes the first step himself. The Fool does not analyze all the possible risks of a new adventure, he learns as he goes along. The fearlessness and sheer enthusiasm associated with The Fool makes for quite a maverick character, and often this card can signify that such a person, male or fe...

Quotes

if you're lucky, you might find someone who is exactly right for you. Not because he is perfect, , or because you are, but because your combined flaws are arranged in a way that allows two separate beings to hinge together. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: there is a reaction and both are transformed. ― unknown “Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle would be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches. For a moment we are dazzled by an intense emotion. A pleasant warmth grows within us, fading slowly as time goes by, until a new explosion comes along to revive it. Each person has to discover what will set off those explosions in order to live, since the combustion that occur...

a tirade

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein if i had a crystal ball to see past, present and future, i would see so many of us spinning the wheels, repeating the same patterns, but aptly pretending that we are doing something different this time--something meaningful--foolishly thinking that we're moving forward. of course, we are all so crafty at finding those who will agree with us ... our hearts are often shut in preference for the senses ... the moment of ecstasy is worth a life time of love ... we all know that. we can pretend time and again that this time it will be different--we don't have to grow, evolve or look deep within at ourselves -- we just need to try yet again to make things turn around, like a magical snapping of the fingers ... wounds will heal themselves, escaping will heal our feelings, the senses will dull our pain -- and happiness will be achieved ... the loneliness and dissatisfaction that e...

Just a Thought

“I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.” ― Criss Jami

Quote of the Day

“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one” ― Rumi “Don't be afraid to be confused. Try to remain permanently confused. Anything is possible. Stay open, forever, so open it hurts, and then open up some more, until the day you die, world without end, amen.” ― George Saunders

Hearts Are

My heart is missing you, missing you It hijacked my thoughts, my dreams My very core My heart is missing you, missing you It beats against the walls Echoes lost in the silences of my memories. My heart is missing you-- In the loneliest of desires drawn against the shadows, Lost in the passions of a furtive love My heart is missing you. Beyond the artifice of these words I search for the place where I hold your heart.

what it isn't & what it is

it isn't the longing nor the desire it isn't the echo of events it isn't even the regret it isn't the dull ache that persists it isn't the absence that disturbs my silence. it is the feeling that it is it it is the force that wakes my sleep it is the wheel that spins my dreams it is the web that keeps me bound it is the road that waits

changes

the fork on the road leads to the same paths the fruit on the trees awakens the same desires the rustling of the leaves will build the senses the sun floats above the horizon to mark beginning and end the river that flows is never the same river, said Heraclitus nor is a man the same man that he was yesterday

hmmm-- coincidence?

LOVE TOUCHSTONE CAREER May. 7, 2015   In your love life, you don’t know where to turn to for help, in order to get your equanimity back, dear G ! You’re suspicious and undecided, and you prefer to hide behind reserve and indifference as soon as you enter the minefield called “feelings.” It is best to beware of the alliance between the Lovers and the Pope, since this attitude is certainly not going to help you restore a climate of confidence.  At work, you could let yourself be swept off course by a tide of questions about the validity of your decisions or the basis of your relationships with those around you. The Lovers implant seeds of doubt about all your schemes, and this risks bringing you up short… This slowing in the pace of your plans is particularly relevant where links with others are concerned: partnerships, cont...

Big Scary Choices

Hi G. The Lovers card is the card to look out for in your readings; it represents a time of choice and dilemma that could have a significant impact on your life. Have you ever had a situation in your love life when you were faced with a choice and found it really difficult to know who to choose or what to do? Perhaps you're facing such a dilemma at this moment in time? Your card today addresses this particular issue! You may be faced with a choice between suitors or lovers, or whether to stay in a relationship/marriage or leave, and when it comes to affairs of the heart, knowing which is the right choice can be very difficult indeed. The Lovers card signifies intimate relationships and physical attraction to another, and it's also about struggling with temptation and establishing who or what you really care about. The emotion and desire associated with this card is powerful and represents deep love. Sometimes it may not refer to intimate relationships but ...

in the void

i can't find myself, lost in the page i can't find myself in the words, can't find myself not even in the spaces between letters nor in the eternity separating each sound i've lost myself in the right angles on the page in the line that starts and has an end; the sounds of the keyboard create their own universe, a dimension beyond these thoughts i'm lost in a thought that has no end and whose start can be felt in a silence, in the trembling of a pause of an endless sentence i've lost myself. and even the compass points to a void the movements of silence amidst the sounds of memory, the undercurrent of an alphabet made up of time that only exists in the stillness between heartbeats.

en el vacio

no me encuentro, perdido en la pagina no me encuentro en las palabras, no me encuentro ni en el espacio entre cada letra ni en la eternidad entre palabras me he perdido en los angulos rectos de la pagina en el renglón que empieza y termina el sonido del teclado forma su propio universo una dimension mas alla del eco de las palabras me he perdido en un pensamiento que no tiene fin y cuyo comienzo se divisa en un silencio en el temblor de una pausa en la oracion que termina me he perdido, y aun el compás dirige a otro vacio el moviento del silencio en el sonido del recuerdo la resaca de un abecedario inventado en el tiempo que solo existe entre cada latido

dreams are light and shadow (draft)

what's in a dream? the weaving of the mind free of of the waking man's thoughts a game of lights that seep through shadows every voice a stitch in time, every face a fear or a desire. what's in a dream? a longing, the yearning for a destiny
