Alice

' "That's enough", said Alice. "No more fighting. There's much to be done."
The Lion looked at the Unicorn, raised his vicious paw and slashed it across the Unicorn's neck.
The Unicorn grimaced, then when he felt no pain, looked at the floor in disbelief.
There lay the crown, chains and all.'

(Alice in Wonderland)

Who do I want to be?
What do I want to live this life for?

Stay in grace. Treat others gracefully.
Cheer each other, embrace each other, mean it well with them, meet each other on one level.

Eventually, you have to give in.
Eventually you will let yourself fall into the well.

I am letting myself fall in seven weeks and I be someone else.

Goodbye to all this
goodbye to the self-violation of my soul every day in these vacuous walls
in this insidious distortion

External and internal

"And if you don’t know, you see, if you’re not really vividly aware of the fact that you are basically the works, you have no real joy in life. You’re just a bundle of anxiety mixed up with guilt. Because, you see, when we bring children into the world we play awful games with them. Instead of saying, "How do you do? Welcome to the human race. Now, my dear, we are playing some very complicated games. And these are the rules of the game we’re playing. I want you to understand them, and then you’ll learn them, and then—when you get a little bit older—you may be able to think up some better rules."
Instead of being quite direct with our children, instead, we say,"You’re here on probation, you understand that? And maybe, when you grow up a bit, you’ll be acceptable. But until then you should be seen and not heard. You’re a mess, and you’ve got to be educated, and schooled, and whipped until you are human. So that these attitudes which are inculcated into us in infancy go on into old age. The way you start out is liable to be the way you finish.
So people [are] going around fundamentally feeling that they don’t belong, because their parents said to them in the first place, "Look, you don’t really belong here. You’re here on sufferance. You’re on probation, you’re not a human being yet."And people feel this right on into old age. And so they figure that the universe is presided over by this awful kind of God the father-parent who—yes—has our best interests at heart, is loving, but who spares the rod spoils the child.

"The external world is your own body, extended. So he — instead of going up to the hill and saying,"Good afternoon! I very much want to live here and I would want to like to know what kind of house you would like to have built on you." - an intelligent architect always does that — instead of that, he has a prejudice about what kind of a house is a house. And he has to make the hill submit to this prejudice. So he has to ruin the hill and get rid of it, pretty much; then put the house on it. He’s absolutely out of his mind. And he’s out of his mind because he doesn’t realize that the external world is his body. When he realizes that he’ll get his mind back.

Alan Watts

Eight years ago something struck my mind, a realisation.
I knew, I wouldn't drown my luck in my ideals.
It means that after careful examination I throw dogma overboard (whatever dogma), and have integrity in and after that.
It's redefining our world-perception, our reality, over and over again.
It's inevitable once we learn how we are a composition of multiple layers and rivers of causa.

I always wanted to be with someone who is capable of this leap.

Condemnation

"Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.“

(Alan Watts)

Flowers in the desert

Don't expect flowers to blossom in the desert. There's some wild superflowers who do, but even they need shelter, sun and warmth, not matter how strong their seed.

SOULutions against pollution.

'The Universe is not outside you. Look inside yourself. Everything you want, you already are.’ 

(Rumi)

Grace

I want to learn grace
to communicate with grace
to thank someone with grace
to guard someone with grace
to protect someone with grace
to be graceful in the main things I do
to fail gracefully and with ease inside
and, when ease fades, gracefully feel
to acknowledge the grace that lies in life and death, in nature
to eventually ease the pain of the unspeakable with grace
to express anger gracefully
to make grace my ship
cause
grace is a ship that brings you to the harbour of worthiness at light speed
grace is a guard and a mentor that comes from deep within and is rooted in real intuition
grace is the gate for connection with each other
grace is the welcoming breeze of acceptance and forgiveness for others
and gives you freedom within all these at the same time
grace is the revolutionary evolution we are able to manoeuvre at our own will
grace is healthy humility without ducking your head down
grace is balanced compassion
grace is the dance I admire
and thus I chose to learn

Leave. you're not as strange as me

"Leave
You’re not as strange as me"
