we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars ...

A star to every wandering bark, whose worth's unknown though its height be taken ...

What is it that stops us tapping into the love energy?

That's my point ... it's just love ... you don't need to say 'unconditional' ... if you do then its not love at all just a temporary liking or something.

"Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds..." ...why the unnecessary adjective 'unconditional' ...?

Forget everything you have learned. The world is composed of great powers, of the souls that are sun, moon, earth and sky. Beings that breath and are alive. The sky like a vast womb encircles us and the earth its lover stands beneath. Between them the empty, invisible life giving air. The earth reaching up to the sky as plants and trees, which in their time wither, die and fall back to earth again. So to the sun and stars rise up each day and set down each night in a continual, eternal circulation. Between all these beings the elastic force of love, of inter-relation. And we as men and women caught up in this everlasting organic, pulsating whole, have our bodies, our minds, our living breath and eventually our expiration, no different to all of nature, as we are by nature creatures of this whole living universe. We are creatures, who in our internal parts reflect the greater world. Our bodies like the earth, solid and tangible, our minds like the sky, vast and subtle, we grow and transform from child to maturity like the rising power of the sun and then grow weary, empty and old like the west. The template of our evolution formed by the patterns in the world. And in all this a chance of something more profound, something greater than only being subject to the mark of time. The possibility of the immortal, the undying. To step beyond the rhythm of life and to understand it all, to become a power among powers and to form our image as the most sacred image of the infinite which drives it all.

Yes they're climbing slowly all over the fence ... the flowers are weird ...almost alien.

I think I may be on the wrong thread.

Not so much Nirvana as becoming the diamond body/mind.

Because they were visited by time travelling Canadians dressed as aliens ... or some such.

yes you may ... some scientists in white coats are coming to take you somewhere safe and comfortable ...

Is that after your face gets slapped?

I don't have any other flowers unless you count artichokes.

No ... seriously ... thank you.

Yes you can see stars from a deep well. This true.

blossom from back yard ... full of joys of nature at the moment

yesterday evening I went for a walk up the track behind our house and the moon was rising at the head of the valley and the sun setting at its foot ... the air was filled with that particular summer solstice buzz and I couldn't help notice the beauty of it all and that it was a microcosm of everything to me ... it felt as if I could lay back and the universe would support me ... but I didn't try cos I would have fallen on my behind no doubt (!) ... I think moments of poetic truth are important to us ... to me anyway ... there are many ways to perceive reality and we don't have to spend our time with our noses in the dirt ....

Thank you ... yes that is more accurate.

I can't help it

Just rename the board SpamBums ....

In the interests of gender equality I demand a Wallet Sub as well ...

Fashion victim.

One spammer with variable IP?
