Feed Me
I surrender to another because I want to be taken to that place where reason and thought disappears, where the world folds up flat and spins away into its own corner and there's nothing left but what I'm feeling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -
Feed Your Body
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Feed Your Heart
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark Twain~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where there is great love, there are always great miracles.
~Mother Teresa~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are three things that are important in human life. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.
~Henry James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Feed Your Mind
The quieter you become the more you can hear.
~Baba Ram Dass~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field; I'll meet you there.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Henry David Thoreau~ -
Feed Your Soul
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity..
~Pema Chodron~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joy has no cost.
~Marianne Williamson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To know what you prefer, instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.
~Robert Louis Stevenson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Desire & Intent
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Friendship
In the sweetness of friendship; let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed
~Kahlil Gibran~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Love
‘A’Ole E ‘Olelo mai Ana Ke Ahi Ua Ana Ia.
Translation: The fire of Love will burn as long as it has something to feed on.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.
~John O'Donohue~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions.
~Anais Nin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
~Henry David Thoreau~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.
~Rumi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a microscopic truth
As I peel back the layers I find microscopic truths. My truths… Intent: Just because I didn’t intend to cause hurt, doesn’t discount anyone else’s perception of their hurt. Sorry to burst all those Zen bubbles out there….It’s all good … Continue reading
Forever ago
Has it been that long? Has it really been 6 months since I last opened this door, and walked back into the safety of my space? Guess I gotta stop back more often…..Feels like home. *grins*
hindsight
Well of course hindsight is 20/20. If foresight was 20/20 instead of our presumptions (or assumptions) we wouldn’t have any lessons to learn now would we? Shees…..No shit, Sherlock…. Wow, what a year. Here is the thing I came to … Continue reading

85% contained
and mop up operations are underway. Yes there are still plenty hot spots and fire burning in the interior. However barring any really extreme weather that would blow this back up, containment line around the perimeter probably won’t be breached. … Continue reading
trying to find a good spin
on all of this. As of right now, for every 1 house destroyed, 7 houses were saved due to the outstanding work of all those involved in trying to manage this beast…. There are over 800 Firefighters working this fire … Continue reading
worth a look
it’s no wonder we are simultaneously horrified and fascinated at the destructive power of fire. http://standeyo.com/NEWS/13_Pics_of_Day/130613.pic.of.day.html Nice vid of Firefighters protecting a structure in Black Forest http://vimeo.com/68342641
Black Forest Fire
Now being officially called a “criminal investigation”. And nearly one year after Waldo Canyon, investigators have a point of origin but NO suspects in that fire. Like Waldo Canyon, 2 people have perished in this fire….
Yet Again…FIRE
Just 11 days before the one year anniversary of the devastating Waldo Canyon Fire that destroyed 347 homes and 18,000+ acres on the West edge of Colorado Springs, the Black Forest Fire which started Tuesday afternoon this week has already … Continue reading
heart songs
Just listen to your own heart. This is your only teacher. ~Osho~ Are you listening?
living….
If you live with unhealthy people, to be healthy is dangerous. If you live with insane people, then to be sane is dangerous. If you live in a madhouse, even if you are not mad at least pretend that you … Continue reading
Investements (2)
Not once but twice in the past week I’ve had this conversation with people about levels of drama. Not just in my own house and in some cases by my own hand (where I escalated because of anger), but by … Continue reading

I do wish this had a separate “journal” type feature. Or am I missing something here? Any way to do this without making more pages stacked under a main page?
