I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the geatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminatd ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of a right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons.

-- The Buddha

From the heart of the lovers,
blood flows like a vast river.
Our body is the windmill and love, the water.
Without water the mill cannot turn.
~Rumi

Lead me a way of innocence.
Lead me away of in-no-sense.

We are glory-us.
Our own divini-three.
The me,
The you,
The we.
Let our actions reflect
what we wish for ourselves.

Not till we are lost,
in other words not till we have lost the world,
do we begin to find ourselves,
and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.

-- H.D. Thoreau, Walden

Can the sorrow in daily life end?
Unless the mind changes radically
Our living has very little meaning--
Going to the office every day,
Earning a livelihood,
Reading a few books,
Being able to quote cleverly,
Being very well-informed--
A life which is empty, a real bourgeois life.
And then as one becomes aware of this state of affairs,
One begins to invent a meaning to life;
Find some significance to give to it;
One searches out the clever people
Who will give one the significance,
The purpose, of life--
Which is another escape from living.
This kind of living must undergo
A radical transformation.
~J. Krishnamurti

I try to make the here,
And now,
As heavenly as possible,
In case there isn't one
To ascend into when we're done.
It's a kind of insurance.
- Michael Caine

"We must be very clear on this matter from the very beginning. There is no belief demanded or asked, there are no followers, there are no cults, there is no persuasion of any kind, in any direction, and therefore only then we can meet on the same platform, on the same ground, at the same level. Then we can together observe the extraordinary phenomena of human existence."
-J. Krishnamurti

My hearts line is as long as a cobweb is to a spider.
The lives I have lived are not circular lines within a trunk.
They don't even hold the substance of sequence,
Where one follows the other in succession.
At times I feel like a beautiful explosion.
At times I am the blown wings of dandelion seeds.
They say we see everything at the speed of light.
That my sight is a collection of reflection.
My reply is that at light speed there is no time.
So you are are here with me even if not at my side.
Such is the nature of when stars collide.
