Terror

Why do people do this. What does it achieve. The web of hate that you weave... What is the point of this ruthless act. Ever thought of the people... What would drive you to want to make this pact. act. cracked... shock is a killer. STOP! War is not the answer... EVER!

I need frames!

What is a well-chosen collection of pictures, but walls hung round with thoughts? -- Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792)

Love

Love is when you miss her even before she's gone, When you could listen to her talk all night And never get tired of hearing her voice, When the sound of her name sends chills down your spine, And when you see her smile the second you close your eyes!

The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Endurance

Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes. - Buddha

Thoughts

Be honest, have integrity, trust, be true to your self. Live life Distorted self image! Time for me. No distractions. Experience it, this is the lifestyle Grounding, spiritual healing. I made the decision to move out, seperate. You made it nasty! Vicious If the was no truth in what I said, Im am lies Im alone and excited amazed free all nervous scared. Know who I am! Live, stop chasing everything Need to know if there is more to our relationship. Salvation - in who I am. Time away, not in your face. Allow a person to feel in time Words said, cannot be taken back. Think before u lash out.

London Rides!

Live by these!

"When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself."

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few."

Shunryu Suzuki

On the road again

"There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting." -Buddha

My Thoughts!

• "I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you." - so true.
• "The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy." - what we fear most becomes.
• "Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'" - Not me, but people I know.
• "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it” - You know you already do!
• "The ability to lie is a liability" - to yourself and your friends.
• "No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes." - I love this one, so true!
• "I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies." - Live by that!

A Door Bell

On Great Titchfield Street, London...

Only noticed this the other day, I am not sure how old it is, the Building is Pre 1900, so the doorbell cannot be far off... The doorbell was said to be one of Thomas Edison's inventions. It was invented in 1831

London still amazes me with all the little things...

Daily Meditation

But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest. - Buddha

Moon Phases

Quote for the day

It is difficult to innovate, super easy to duplicate, the question is what do you want to do? - Anonymous

illiteracy is a global phenomenon

This is a print out on the notice board at the complex I live in. Interesting that nobody has said anything to the concierge about this notice. "To open and close the button, don't pull or push the door. Just use the fob or press the button. The door will open and close automatically" should read something along the lines of..."To open or close the door, press the button or use your fob. The door is motorised and will open and close automatically"

Do you mind?

“Minds are like parachutes; they only function when open.” - Thomas Robert Dewar

Deluded!

When you are deluded and full of doubt, even a thousand books of scripture are not enough. When you have realized understanding, even one word is too much. - Fen Yang

Word of the day

sa·ti·at·ed - satisfied, as one's appetite or desire, to the point of boredom.

Love

"Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience." M. Scott Peck

Daily Meditation

And just as men depend upon A boat for traversing the sea, So does the mental body need The matter-body for occurrence. And as the boat depends upon The men for traversing the sea, So does the matter-body need The mental body for occurrence. Depending each upon the other The boat and men go on the sea. And so do mind and matter both Depend the one upon the other. 'Visuddhimagga' (XVIII, 36)

Inspiration

I’m inspired by the Dalai Lama, who said, ” Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can.’

As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge. -- Henry van Dyke

Quote of the day

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans. The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." -- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

So true, never forget this!

The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to. - Chuang Tzu...
