Hello Everyone! Out of curiosity... with many emotions running high, I thought this poll would be interesting. Please elaborate if you wish, especially if you feel open to using this forum to your benefit. Thank You! Peace!

Hello Kate! I would agree they are not. What would you suggest to get the ball rolling in a way that is more appealing or understanding? My main purpose of placing the poll was to give us all an outlet to look at ourselves from the outside in, and have a chance to come to a better understanding of why we get trapped into these "loops" of behavior, ruts, that we just can't seem to escape. Once we can figure out where we are wasting our energies... We can then make changes to create a more Flowing existence. Peace!

Hello everyone! At the suggestion of adding more emotions/feelings, I have added them to the poll, please feel free to comment or change your votes accordingly. Peace

Snow on museum steps, Aha!, what do I see there? MudLotus... hidden.

Hello everyone! While I do appreciate the ability to make predictions... I do not see the point of creating disharmony based on possibilities that are beyond our control. I predict that 2011.....will be a year that will make people both happy and sad. And no matter what unfolds... The way is still there. Perceived difficulties are always opportunities, if you change your perspective. Choose to see the good in the world... and you will be a part in making it so. Peace!

Dusk, Because we do live in the world of 10,000 things, we will have strong emotional feeling towards what we individually perceive as injustices in this world. Unless you are able to do the Sage thing with no issues!... You just have to follow what your conscience tells you is the best/most understanding/ most non- interfering way, making a decision that you can live with. If your conscience tells you it is unjust to eat meat, then I'd say you have your answer. Applied to everyday living... I use it in the way that is most forgiving and understanding. Keeping the awareness that we are to flow with the natural course of what lies ahead of us and see the beauty of saying yes to what unfolds on it's own, without us trying to constantly control and force things into being as we think they should be. If an action feels unnatural to you, then listen to your true nature, and act accordingly.... You will always feel lighter, when you do not carry the burden of a decision based on values that are not your own. Peace!

Fine young cannibals. Water boiling over rim, Stupefied, fresh meat.

Scrambles out the door! But wait! Where are my hasbrowns? Trip, on shoes, untied.

Thanks for picking it up rene...I like the tofu! Tofu hotdogs, Yum! Dog and roll taste like the same? My dauschund, shudders....

Hi Longrhythm! The question is...Do YOU Love her? If you do... than accept her, faults and all. Besides, what you perceive as her faults.... are really your dislikes in yourself. By Loving unconditionally... You allow Love to be real and lasting. Unconditional Love is Love that nurtures your inner self. Peace!

SoT, Thanks...I have added Fear and Guilt. Anger is there in all aspects. Very interesting so far! Peace!

Anal retentive, Round, sweet, fully formed, complete. Palm full, of fresh fruit!

TSDE, I feel your pain and awareness. Is being AWAKE a gift , a curse, or the sweet and sour of both? There are few things like death of a loved one to snap us awake... sometimes for the first time. Everyday, we are surrounded by the sleepers. Many times I feel like I am slapping people with my words... just to get them to see beyond themselves. The spark of awareness.... needs to be cared for. Peace!

:) :) Can't you people count? Little piggies market bound, Tofu hotdogs, Yum!

Nice white kitty cat Angry ball of fuzzy fur. Purrring feline, smile!

Dreaming of a butterfly Orange/black, spots, covered Spirit of the wind.

On top of the world. Like a pin-prick in the sky, Blue face, deflated.

Hello Twinner/ Aaron!, I would say you've had quite a breakthrough in understanding! The desires we hold... are our Jailers! We... the possessor's of the key! In a fleeting glimpse ... Freedom is to be had! This incredibly liberating Idea of not holding onto our feelings what ever they may be, to me is the key to leaving the blasted ego in the dust. Feel the lightness of being... Acceptance to just BE who you are ... as natural and nonjudgmental as an infant. This to me is the true Way....

Bananas, whipped cream, Nuts! Realization strikes, Oh No! Sherpa, heavy pack!

Hi Marblehead! I Agree with all you have said.... and would like to just add my own bit! Knowledge... is the understanding of information that has been learned. Wisdom.... is using the information with the respect to realize that nothing, no- thing, no situation is entirely "knowable" and after taking that into consideration, then having the ability to alter how the information learned is applied, in any given situation. Peace!
