The next moments

The next moments of my life
I will strive my own strife,
knowing finally that I am me
and what and who I could be.
I will choose my own friends,
clothes not by fashion trends,
and my wavy hair shall be
as long or short as I dare.
They will go on calling me
by my old name, taking care
not to take it in vain
but I will not strain
to gain fame
or shame.

The next moments of my life,
will not be idle or boring,
they will be full of strife
but will not be despairing.
I will not count the cost
and will be completely lost
in whatever I am thinking,
but knowing what I'm doing.
And I will have no dreams
or nightmares, and it seems
I will be fast asleep
and will never weep,
being all right
at night.

The next moments of my life
will be ...

Goodness

"Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect."
-- Jesus of Nazareth

"On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time."
-- George Orwell

Suspense

Not knowing what will happen next makes life more interesting and exciting.

Nothing else

Reality is made up of thoughts. Whatever you or I think about it. It's how we look at it. See it. Make of it. Make it. Life is just what you make it. Nothing else.

Thinking is contagious.

Positive or negative. People can sense our aura and are affected by our thoughts.

What makes it so pleasurable?

The thought of being desirable?

Cést la vie

To work today
In the warm sun,
And to dance and play
Until the day is done.
And at night to sleep
In my cozy bed, ooh wee.
Then morning would creep
Fresh and alive like me
That's my life, c'est ma vie!

To work today
And have some fun,
And then dance and play
Until your energy is gone.
Sleep, the darkness is come
To wake up before everyone,
How real stupid and dumb.
But are you really happy?
That's life, c'est la vie!

Authority

"The poison and corruption begin when you look to one person as your authority, your guide, your saviour."
-- J. Krishnamuti

There are no saints

Only sinners. Nobody is perfect.

I learn something new

and interesting from everyone I meet.

Eternity

What is eternal life?
Is there death at all?
Isn't there nothing else
but energy?
What is energy?
Is it not the one all-embracing,
motivating force
at the root of all activities of life?
Isn't there only just life
that is continually
being born from within?
What is death?
What is the difference?
Or is there life or death at all?
Isn't there just one energy?
One intelligence?

Questions?

Truth

What I am saying is this:
There is no such thing as truth.
But truth is paradoxical
And full of contradictions.
Well, yes that's true.

Anyone knows truth is non-existent.
Therefore nobody can find truth.
And why bother to seek truth.
This is what I am saying.
And yes that's true.

THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

HARBORMASTER: If you're rolling scuppers in this tub, you're either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.

JACK: It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.

More Koans

While you are dying,
Knowing you are still alive.
Make the most of it.

Water is cooking;
Suddenly it boils and boils.
Coffee, you and me.

Looking at the stars,
Planting both feet on the ground,
Tell me what you see.

If you're really wise,
Why do you have ambitions?
Mind your own business!
