October 25
During a visit to Montana over the summer I got a calling home, so to speak...I moved back to Missoula October 15th. I love and will miss the Oregon Coast...after 35 years it's good to be home.
Life is such an adventure!

" The protesters are the awakening from a dream that is turning into a nightmare. They are not destroying anything. They are reacting to a system that is gradually destroying itself."
Slavoj Zizek:
~ Occupy Wall St. ~

* * * * * * * *
Walk softly upon Mother Earth, plant some flowers or a tree, kiss with passion, love deeply, keep your heart and mind open, let go of what no longer serves you, play fair, share, care.
Remember, we are not human beings
having a spiritual experience. We are
spiritual beings having a human experience.

..and allow others words to show a small part of me

* * * * * * * * * *
All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.
* * *
Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
* * *
Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.
* * *
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands.You seek problems because you need their gifts.
* * *
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; and to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
* * *
Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.
* * *
The opposite of loneliness, it's not togetherness. It is intimacy.
* * *
All we see of someone at any moment is a snapshot of their life, there in riches or poverty, in joy or despair. Snapshots don't show the million decisions that led to that moment.
* * *
The soul has been given its own ears to hear the things that the mind does not understand.

Once a young woman asked me,
"How does it feel to be a man?"
And I replied, "My dear I am not so sure." Then she said,
"Well, aren't you a man?"
And this time I replied,
"I view gender as a beautiful animal
That people often take for a walk on a leash
And that might enter in some odd contest to try to win strange prizes.
My dear, a better question for Hafiz
Would have been,
'How does it feel to be a heart?'
For all I know is Love, and I find my heart Infinite and Everywhere!"

Hafiz - How Does It Feel To Be A Heart?

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

John Lennon - Imagine
