Something Good Beneath the Stars
“On soft Spring nights I’ll stand in the yard under the stars – Something good will come out of all things yet – And it will be golden and eternal just like that – There’s no need to say another word”
— Jack Kerouac
What lies untouched
stays pure,
the self behind the curtain
that we are just echoes of
masks, educational toys
that play out these dramas
to us so real
then put away at days end.
So we play our part
yet hear whispers of
life beyond this stage
and wonder
at fantasy’s construction
while discovering our will
and playing it out
as only artists can
our intent to know eternity
made manifest in our toy lives.

Quote of the Day – September 13 2012
“When you realize that eternity is right here now, that it is within your possibility to experience the eternity of your own truth and being, then you grasp the following: That which you are was never born and will never die”
― Joseph Campbell
Interesting thoughts on Empathy and Challenge from a friend that I wanted to share tonight:
Empathy.
Well…
what comes BEFORE empathy?
Tragedy.
Often.
Loss.
And – more importantly –
the inability to ignore the situation.
This is an advanced lesson.
For those who VALUE empathy.
For those who don’t give a shit about empathy…
A more INSPIRING lesson is often suited.
For the … cynical.
But for the optimiists
this is the lesson they really need to learn.
The cynics have been through that
now they got to start seeing it differently
Ah
let me put this another way –
“A warrior regards everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man sees everything as either a blessing or a curse.”
Those who feel cursed need to feel love.
Those who feel blessing, need to feel disaster.
This is the CATALYST form.
For speeding up the process.
The way of Tantra.
as I was taught.
Until they begin to see
both blessings
and curses
as challenges.”
