Feel Dream Live

“Life is not easy. We all have problems-even tragedies-to deal with, and luck has nothing to do with it. Bad luck is only the superstitious excuse for those who don't have the wit to deal with the problems of life. ” ― Joan Lowery Nixon , In The Face of Danger     

It is difficult for a women to define her feelings in a language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.   Thomas Hardy

The unbearable pain As she cries out Breathing, breathing, breathing No comfort will come Until he sees the light at night Little cries of arrival Soft skin, little fingers toying around an angels face Will she have enough? Dancing in the rain Skipping in through grass Diving in the sea To the edge of forever No sacrifice He wants Manhattan She wants the sea The realisation When love is not enough Outside her window A single magpie.

The violin is a string instrument of which the sound can either be a sound of melancholy or a beautiful compliment to an orchestra.   The difference is how you play it. Played with love and affection, it produces beautiful heart wrenching music. Miss treat it and it produces the most horrific sounds every imaginable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NguIpRFLM4M

The story of King Solomon's wisdom has had me wide eyed from a young age. The older I get, the greater the understanding of sacrifice for unconditional love. It's a pity that there are people who are willing to destroy because they do not think someone else deserves to be happy.

But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.” ― Daphne du Maurier

Perception, intelligence, insight, wisdom- all synonyms of  each other. How do you define perception or wisdom? Is it the ability to recompose multiple natural phenomena into a harmonious whole and, through the great chain of being, ascend to principle that govern reality? Or as  expressed by the latin words festina lente- hurry up slowly. Quentin Varin, Tabula Cebetis

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” ― Jim Morrison

The sudden disappointment of hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfilment of that hope never entirely removes- Thomas Hardy I love children. Their scars are of falling off a bicycle, cutting their finger while venturing into uncharted territory, breaking an arm climbing the highest tree etc. Yet, they continue to explore and hope to explore more! At what age do we decide that the scar is bigger than the hope? Do we tell our children to be careful and not climb a tree or wheelie on a bicycle or climb through a fence- just in case they get hurt again? Do we leave them wondering how far they can cycle on one wheel, what they will see from the highest tree top or what discovery lies beyond the fence? What scars do we show our children? Scars that are not even theirs? How do we influence their hope? How do we keep hope alive? Theirs and ours.

"There is a condition worse than blindness, and that is, seeing something that isn't there" Thomas Hardy   Last night was movie night. I trust the universe to guide me in picking a movie to watch. Last night the universe's response was slow but powerful none the less.   I settled on "At first sight". It is based on a real life story about Shirl and Barbara Jennings   Shirl was partially blind since the age of 1 and totally blind at the age of 3.   Barbara met Shirl later in life. She found out about an operation that will allow a blind man to see. Shirl saw life, but not through his eyes. We have 6 sense. Sight is but 1.   The reality of a blind man was totally changed by sight. He knew what an apple taste like, feel like, smelled like but did not know what it was when seeing it. His reality was different. Yet, it was hard for Barbara to understand. The challenge lies in putting or senses into reality. But what is reality really. W...

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Mark Twain

“All people dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people, For they dream their dreams with open eyes, And make them come true.” ― D.H. Lawrence

The art of philosophy and the philosophy of art What is the relationship between art and philosophy? The halls of Oxford and Cambridge, the Parisian parlours of old times, the open fields under the Tuscan sun, the tavern's of ancient Greece? When did art become a philosophy and when did philosophy become the writings on modern "art"- quotations on mugs, place mats and  bumper stickers. Why did art become a money spinner instead of an expression of the soul and self. How did electronics replace the banter over a decanter? Are we blind or just lazy? Or do we just not care?
