No One is listening

If you listen and pay close attention to what is,

you will discover that there is no past, no future,

and no one listening.

catmaSutra cat art: Hear No Evil

You cannot hear yourself listening.

You live in the eternal now and you are that.

It is really extremely simple, and that is the way it is."
— Alan Wilson Watts

Breathe

"Breathe in, breath out.

Oxygen is carcinogenic and likely puts a limit on our life span.

It would be unwise though, to try to extend life by not breathing at all.

Which of us doesn't do it?

Either we loll in anaerobic stupor,

too afraid to fill our lungs with risky beauty,

By Audrey Kawasaki

or we roll out fire like dragons,

destroying the world we love..."

— Jeanette Winterson

Karma

What can i tell you about the choices we make?

Fate reads like the polar opposite of decision,

and so much of life reads like fate.

Descendants from Goro Fujita on Vimeo.

The pull of past and future is so strong

that the present is crushed by it.

We lie helpless in the force of patterns inherited

and patterns re-enacted by our own behavior.

~Jeanette Winterson

How people treat you is their karma;
how you react is yours. "

A second of wakefulness

"Do you wake up as I do,

having forgotten what it is that hurts or where,

until you move?

There is a second of consciousness that is clean again.

A second that is you, without memory or experience,

the animal warm and waking into a brand new world.

There is the sun dissolving the dark,

and light as clear as music,

filling the room where you sleep

and the other rooms

behind your eyes."

Quotes- Jeanette Winterson

Dream well tonight...

Don't Resist the Flow

from: http://creill.com/tom-bagshaw.html

"...The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you're supposed to go up and down when you're supposed to go down. When you're supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you're supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom.

From: http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Yokai-Dreams-Show/504269

When there is no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness. 'I am he and/ He is me:/ Spring nightfall.' Abandon the self, and there you are."
— Haruki Murakami

"Precipitate as weather,

she appeared from somewhere,

then evaporated, leaving only memory."

There is this other place...

To be ill adjusted to a deranged world is not a breakdown

I have a theory that every time you make an important choice,
the part of you left behind continues the other life you could have had.

*quotes by Jeanette Winterson

Time that withers you will wither me.

We will fall like ripe fruit and roll down the grass together.

Dear friend, let me lie beside you watching the clouds

until the earth covers us and we are gone.

That Secret Nothing...

from: http://suzywire.tumblr.com/page/3

"If you have to choose between something that has form
and something that doesn't, go for the one without form.
That's my rule. Whenever I run into a wall I follow that rule,
and it always works out. Even if it's hard going at the time."
~ Haruki Murakami
