Time is an illusion anyway, so wouldn't that make "separating" the past from the future from the present the mistake?<BR/>Yes, we only have the present - because the present is all-encompassing.<BR/>Or what is "instant karma's gonna get you," then?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-1165363820720533722006-12-05T19:10:00.000-05:002006-12-05T19:10:00.000-05:00Dear Michelle, what an interesting view and post a...Dear Michelle, what an interesting view and post and lovely as always. The Oriental sticks sound charming like chopsticks in paint. I saw "Pollock" and enjoyed the performances which were delightful but not nearly so much as your blog.

At least not well, I do have that grandaughter I feel an obligation to remember but my grown children well...I'd rather owe them something or other than cheat them out of it.<BR/><BR/>I will leave them all of my unpublished work and that will be the sum total of everything, every gift from every special occasion they thought I had neglected them on. They only have to wait until i decide to seperate before they shred that million plus words.<BR/><BR/>Metta is the transcendant form of meditation I believe you are refering to, the ability to find within a moment of time the way to deal with them you have animosity towards,yes it is easy to pull the love you want for them because it resides in your heart wanting to be distributed.<BR/><BR/>It's a cool place to be if you can get there, the getting there and staying there is the trick; but even in that place i have found i am allowed my anger only like the great peace and calm the anger becomes a fury.<BR/><BR/>Your comment a couple of days ago is the key to reaching that place, samsara, the Bhuddist belief of a continuous cycle of change and rebirth while in this body to eventually get you to Nirvana and all of the other places of peace that are named differently is the moment in which your heart beats and is the moment in which you concentrate on.<BR/> <BR/>Every heartbeat is a new life time and a new chance for rebirth and change to move you closer to Nirvana, if that is where you want to be.<BR/><BR/>In that place I have no future and I have no past I only have the thum thump of that moment and I expand it into a new life every time. A billion lives lived in a distance we refer to as time each one new and different from the one before and after it. Metta forgiving with love them I have been wronged by and myself for them I have wronged in one of those billion lifetimes, is the peace I always refer to not the lack of conflict but the forgiving of all conflict.<BR/><BR/>Pulling a stick out of a can is fun, but like fortune cookies they are made by the hundreds of thousands and the random act of doing it can Pollock your day or it can Michelangelo your day. <BR/>Like opening to a random page of one of the texts we call holy and where your eyes fall that is what you are for that day.<BR/><BR/>I hope today's fortune stick is true and yesterdays was just the wrong damn stick coming out of the can.<BR/><BR/>Did it ever occur to you Michelle that just because you can read a hundred fifty words a minute that maybe like you told me once or twice that I write to much, you read to much? That maybe you have read and remembered so many books that it may be time to leave the library for awhile and have a donut and a hot black quadruple espresso?<BR/><BR/>and look my comment on your blog is not at 4 in the morning but actually in the mid afternoon...how the fuck did that happen? hehehehehe<BR/><BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25133444.post-1165334462849651802006-12-05T11:01:00.000-05:002006-12-05T11:01:00.000-05:00It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long...It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
