(Don't mind me...I'm just moving in:)"People talk over situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall."
-Bob Dylan
-Thomas Moore
When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
-Lao Tzu (c.604 - 531 B.C.)

"We, all of us, men and women alike, have more to unlearn than to learn." Gloria Steinem
Years ago, when I first decided that I needed to figure myself out
the first person that I went to seeking advice told me something like this:
"When we are children growing up, our parents give us glasses to wear. They show us how to see the world, but there comes a time when you need to take off those glasses, and find your own glasses. You have a choice, and you have the ability to decide how YOU want to see the world."
Welcome to the way I choose to try to see my world :)
"Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better." -Henry Rollins
"Thoughts can create such a barrier that even if you are standing before a beautiful flower, you will not be able to see it. Your eyes are covered with layers of thought. To experience the beauty of the flower you have to be in a state of meditation, not in a state of mentation. You have to be silent, utterly silent, not even a flicker of thought – and the beauty explodes, reaches to you from all directions. You are drowned in the beauty of a sunrise, of a starry night, of beautiful trees."
-osho
"Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind." -Aristotle
"Life is simple - thinking is complicated." -Peter Cajander
