How do you express your unique personality characteristics? Who do you express them to? Use your skills & talents by doing what you enjoy to create a perfect world for someone.

No one wants to explore the darkest recesses of the soul without bringing along a light. Allow self-improvement to occur at the deepest levels by aligning the entirety of your being with your purpose, facilitated by operating in a context of lightness.

Rebirthing by Leonard & Laut

Motivation goes hand-in-hand with discipline. The pain of procrastination must be thought of as “good pain”, signaling time to act out on that strong resolution.

Listen to preachers, listen to fools; watch them make their own rules. One is conditioned to rule & control. Media sells. You live the role.

Wallace The Brave

There was an indescribably hideous monster standing quietly behind him. Arthur yawed wildly as his skin tried to jump one way and his skeleton the other, whilst his brain tried to work out which of his ears it most wanted to crawl out of.

“Bet you weren’t expecting to see me again,” said the monster.

Did we awake from the stupor that can consume our lives — lost amidst bits & bytes, screens & feeds — and find ourselves, as G.K. Chesterton once wrote, “in a street full of splendid strangers?”

Did we allow the years to teach us their subtle lessons?

The idea is not that we will win in our own lifetimes and that’s the measure of us, but that we will die trying.”

Barbara Ehrenreich

Stopping puts some space in your long haul. Rest is a way of being. Pacing is recalibrated care. ~Pato Hebert

It has always been the individual who calls the group to a larger vision, who insists on compassion and fair play. When the goal of the group ceases to be the individual, that group goes into decline.”

Time is the essence, time is the season, time ain’t no reason, got no time to slow. Burn out the day, burn out the night, I can’t see no reason to put up a fight. I’m livin’ for givin’ the devil his due.”

Forge your own path, trust in the magic of individuality.

Though the methods vary, the mission is the same: to realize that we are all of us temporary & fragile beings.

Shot here from who knows where, bound for who can tell, we can love ourselves and each other while we’re here.

Creation

From beyond the Moon, View from Artemis I, 430,000 kilometers from Earth

Besides being mostly void and bereft of matter, the universe at large is cruel and unfriendly. If the aliens are here, it’s for the conviviality of this one planet.

Wild Strawberries – Ingmar Bergman (1957)

Isak Borg Listens To Anders & Viktor

A: Ah, when creation shows so much beauty, how radiant must be the source!

V: How can anyone today study to become a minister!

A: Your rationalism is as dry as dust.

V: I say that modern man believes in only himself and his biological death.

A: Modern man is a figment of your imagination. Man regards death with horror.

V: Religion for the people. Opium for the aching limb.

Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Methinks my body is but the lees of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me.
