Reading a blog where the meaning of love is discussed, and one person said that love is not a priority. She also said “the joy of discovery is a priority.”
Isn’t this the essence of new love? It is also possible to rediscover that love anew with the same person, although as time passes we each evolve, and the other person is no longer the same as when you first met, and neither are you. Doesn’t always have to be a tragedy or a bore. It can be fun if you're open to discovery, are secure, and can shake loose old expectations.
Someone recently summed me up when I revealed my Catholic encrusted childhood. That knowledge muddies the waters in any relationship carrying with it preconceived notions of stereotypical neuroses. Guilt is one. Sexual addiction is another. Together they form their own twisted helix of desire and denial. Totally not me. Really. There is neither room enough nor time enough to properly examine the subject, and I hate long blogs.
The question at hand is Breaking the Rules, which for both Catholics and Buddhists segues into confession and revelation. The former lets you off easy, the latter involves learning something about yourself.
A confession: I delight myself when I break rules. More at Bloodmother
I like that. To bad imagination (albeit bad imaginings) is the driving force behind our "economy".
Prayer and Visualization
21:07 Mar 17 2009 Times Read: 743
The power in prayer is not in the ritualized words recited fervently to an almighty god who can decide the outcome of all human events. The force behind any words is the intent of the individual to use their own power to visualize and enact change, in themselves, in the people around them, and the world at large.
If a group gathers and they visualize the same outcome, they lay down individual tracks for change in their brain. If they continue the visualization, either individually or as a group, their potential for altering the world is unlimited. Change is within us, not outside of us. We are responsible, not god.
If I react the way that people expect me to, I become a slave to them – and that is a lesson that applies both to love and work. It is very difficult to prevent this from happening, because we are always ready to please somebody, or to start a war when we are provoked, but people and situations are the consequences of the life that I have chosen, not the other way around.
"Fidelity": Watch the video viewed by over 1 million people on Vimeo and YouTube, then sign our letter
Join over 350,000 people who have signed this letter telling the state Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8, reject Ken Starr's case, and let loving, committed couples marry.
"Fidelity" used with permission from Regina Spektor and EMI Records.
We, the undersigned, share President Barack Obama's view
that for too long, issues of LGBT rights have been exploited
by those seeking to divide us. It's time to move beyond
polarization and live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect."
Yet, on December 19, 2008, Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality
of Prop 8 and seeking to nullify the marriages of 18,000
devoted same-sex couples solemnized before Prop 8 passed.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, with a decision expected within 90 days.
We, the undersigned, ask that the Court enforce the equality promised to each of us by our constitution and invalidate Prop
8. So doing will protect all loving, committed couples in
California -- including the 18,000 who said "I do" last year --
and prevent the initiative process from being a tool for
stripping vulnerable minorities of precious constitutional rights.
As Americans who believe in the rule of law and fundamental
civil rights, we know that Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal
Defense Fund's shameful attempt to nullify equal protection
and all these bonded unions will be condemned in the eyes of
history. We know that, ultimately, love will prevail, no matter
Been sidelined with life, but like all of you I can't ignore what's happening in our country and in our world. The financial news is harrowing, the numbers staggering, and I can't keep the words "Worldwide Depression," out of my mind.
There's a difference between wealth and money, people. Alan Watts said that forty years ago. It's the difference between actual resources, the bone and muscle and materials required to build a dam, repair a pot hole, or fix a fence . . . and a system of numbers invented to keep us organized. He gave an example of a home builder showing up at a project only to find the foreman and all the workmen doing nothing because they didn't have enough "inches."

True.
