Wishful Thinking
Like flying, like trying
to break away, to make your way
past the pain, into the rain.
see the ripples grow?
see the ripples go…
we’ll watch them fade away
some come walk with me,
there’s so much for you to see,
i’ll walk you through a dream,
down the road of wishful thinking.
there's not much point to lying, it reveals more...
the secret to the secret
for those who have an inkling of interest, is acceptance. of the good, the bad and the ugly, and where possible, the acceptance should come in the form of welcome. Loving joyful welcome. we must welcome the good, because it is a celebration of love. we must welcome the bad, because it teaches us the value of love. we must welcome the ugly, because it inspires us to delve for beauty through an...

The African Problem
i was sitting and chatting to a friend yesterday, and they started talking about what he thought the problem is with Africa. He went on at length about how most African’s couldn’t help themselves, even if they wanted to, due to a lack of education, and moreover, a lack of willingness to help themselves.
It wasn’t long before I was listening to the same arguments I myself had...
okay, so i am off to sleep, and when i wake up, i’m returning to the real world, where there are no cars and lights and people who damage everything.
i am however taking a touch of society with me in the form of a portable modem, and now the question becomes, what do you guys want me to post about from here on in?
i’ve covered almost everything there is to say about the evils of the...

one last night, before the return to the bush, one last flirt with tumblr, and then it’s back to the wild, although, this time i return with modem, so tumblr need not leave me forever :)
what is civilization?
i’ve been pondering this for a bit, and it’s a pretty pickle let me tell you.
who is more civilized?
the person who uses the tools of technology for hygiene and health care
or
the person who is in balance with their surrounding environment
is it the people who can engineer their food for mass production?
or
is it the people who gather what they need from the land and sea?

we are the past, haunting our own futures, right now
we are the future, forgetting our past, right now
we are the present, ignoring our past and our future, right now
i keep reading everywhere about how we need to save the planet, and i don’t think anyone has thought it through properly.
the planet only has one enemy
us
anyone who wanted to save the planet, would have to wipe us out, maybe leave a few gardeners and a wall-e robot to help clean up, but the planet will survive if it can get rid of us.
so i’m left thinking that it’s all...
The Universe Wakes
I am
I am All
I Breathe
Each Breath Is Life
Each Breath Is Death
I Perceive Myself
There is No Beyond
To search without is to search within
Knowledge is needed.
Or is it Wanted, and need is untruth.
Perception.
I Perceive Beyond
There is no Me.
and yet
I am
I am All
I Breathe
“The remarkable position in which we find ourselves is that we don’t...”
– Bill Bryson
when was the last time you sat in silence, letting your thoughts run their course?
or the last time you spent a day following an ant?
have you ever contemplated a blade of grass from its perspective?
do you know your worst fear and have you faced it?
have you found your passions?
don’t get so caught up in the race, that you forget why you’re running. and if you cant remember,...
life and death are not opposites, the are two perspectives of the same concept. the concept is change.
to fear death is to fear life
to love life, is to embrace death

My mind to me a kingdom is
My mind to me a kingdom is; Such perfect joy therein I find That it excels all other bliss Which God or nature hath assign’d. Though much I want that most would have, Yet still my mind forbids to crave. No princely port, nor wealthy store, No force to win a victory, No wily wit to salve a sore, No shape to win a loving eye; To none of these I yield as thrall,— For why? my mind despise...

i dont want to touch your skin
i want to touch your soul
spacebaw-archive asked: hey i just wanted to apologize for my earlier comments about your social work, it was way out of line and I haven't seen your posts in a while so for some reason I thought you were a Zeitgeist type guy. sorry for any offense i caused you and I hope your work continues to go well
hello La Plata, Maryland :)
you wanna know what i have against capitalism?
it is malignant.
capitalism teaches us all to be ruthless, and if you can’t be ruthless, you will stay poor. it encourages us to step on those around us in a clamber for more. it teaches frugality. we all know that rich people got rich by being ‘wise’ with their money, which is actually just another way of saying that they’ve done everything they could to eke out every...
if to thine own self thou art true
then thy free self be confined
for the own self has possessions
while the free self has a mind

dataanxiety replied to your post: i love all of you so much, that the languages of the world have no words to describe.
Me too!!!! I am really so happy that you returned. People always leave, one way or another. But they return far less often. Returning is like a gift, affirmation of faith. Not religious faith. Trust, constancy, enduring. You know? It is wonderful.
oh data! i dont think anyone...

I believe that I could give it all up in time, I’m definitely not ready right now, but that’s what life is for, that’s what pain is for, to strengthen us up, get rid of the fear so all that is left is the moment.
thing with life though, waiting for your readiness has never been one of its strong suits,...

If we never strive for satisfaction we can be satisfied.
then satisfaction, though not striven for, is the end-goal?

spiritmolecule answered your question: i have a question
If we can stop looking for more, then yes. If we can let go, we can be happy in the moment.
you’re the one that answered so you’re be the one that gets the follow-up question. could you give it all up? could you let go and be satisfied with what there is, what you know, or is it inevitable that you should yearn for more?
i have a question
if all of us are on a singular path (time-wise that is), that crosses other paths from time to time, and more than likely, according to all evidence, ends up at the same juncture as every other path, is the struggle worth it? would we not be able to derive more meaning and pleasure from an effortless drawing of the essence of the universe? no struggles, no crap… simple harmony with our own...

i ithink i could read all of our updates constantly all the time, and still feel like i’m learning something new, every moment of every second. and just when i think someone has posted something ignorant, i suddenly feel my inner eye opening and seeing truth, masked though it may be in layers of disguising filth, and my world shifts, completely totally and utterly.
go tumblr go!

more than me
robcayman:
insecurity is deep within me and to go there is a fear unbearable.
at the heart of the root, where the seed is aware, lies a pebble of doubt, like a wound laid bare,
acceptance is crux, the key to balm,
pain is life and life is pain, love hurts and endures, so we go back again,
we grow we evolve

jinnicider answered your question: food for thought
Emotions themselves may not be observable to a third party, but their expression is.
exactly, and so the unobservable has observable consequence, and it’s existence can therefore be deduced. once you have existence on that scale, our ‘observable’ universe becomes a single iota of insignificance in a vast ocean of thought....
food for thought
96% of the universe is considered unobservable for the time being.
it stands to reason then, that the universe is made up of those things that, according to our filtered perception, are unobservable.
we cannot observe love, though it’s effects might be considered tangible.
the same goes for all emotions. and what are emotions but intense thought.
this reasoning then leads to the universe...
