What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. -Crowfoot
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. -Nietzsche
It is nice, in getting mature enough to see the things you really don't have to want to do any more, certain options fade drop away + we are left w/ more focus.
A great comeback to any theory;
There are a lot of assumptions in that deduction.
Being out of context, i reckon.
When i want believe in any thing, then i may have to need to believe something-this or something-else. The world as a reaction.
A cabinet will fall if it is top-heavy, whether you believe it will or not.
i no not have to believe in physics, of course.

Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention.
focus on the fireflies

Jeez.

ReplyDeleteI once went through a Krishnamurti period.

ReplyDeleteI should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. -Nietzsche (#7 Zarathustra)
ReplyDeleteWill not a "lunatic" believe based on his own perception of reality? I’m not so sure it’s wise to believe that our perception is much better.
It is a ponder.
Pass the salt shaker....
"Then life answered me thus and kept her gentle ears closed:"~( Zarathustra-The Other Dance Song~op2~Nietzsche )
ReplyDeleteNice one, Subby. Then I will leave you to your thoughts. :} -J
ReplyDeleteI always liked Stanislaus' approach better, anyway...
ReplyDeletequothe he~"To make good use of life, one should have in youth the experience of advanced years, and in old age the vigour of youth."

ReplyDeleteMore and more I find that as I watch in open gratitude, the signs emerge. The most amazing surprises fall from the blue and when the gifts are more wonderful than I could have imagined, I know that they are absolutely Grace.
