Here we go....

The Mobius Strip that has no end and no beginning is much as one's life is. Around and Around...do you find yourself on the same path you were on not long before? Do you really learn from your mistakes, permenantly? Why is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved? The loss of love is sometimes akin to death, it's a pulverized heart. Never to love is to never experience the emotional death of love. A person is still whole without experiencing love.

Go
go is a very ancient game, it is the one board game big blue will never beat, so that makes it the mobius strip of games. I personally refer to the mobius strip as a metaphor to life and as that then, just do it.Whatever is marked on the strip is and will be,what is done, is.
Nothing in the past can harm you, for once it is done, then it is done. You just move one more place on the strip. |

“I found a lost friend today.”
No, a person is not whole for having gone without love. Love is on many levels to purpose of life. Someone said that to serve others is the point of life, but I have done that I and I have forfeit my life. Life is full of responsibilities and they exist on many levels. I am sorry that you lost a friend. I do not know the details and so perhaps the loss is temporary. We do not find ourselves on the same paths, over time we travel new courses and maybe we do not actually learn from our mistakes, but I believe a sincere attention to our lessons bides us time and lessens the intensity of what we are to learn. We know the pulverized heart. It seems like a rite of passage. It leaves the perspective of life as bitter-sweet. It lends us depth and clarity of some kind of attention to the details. We do not flit about under the glare of a god, who wants us all to reach a common denomination of being. Ask Paris Hilton about the carpet being pulled. Ask my friend RN, whose sciatic nerve died for a time and caused her leg muscles to die also. They slowed way down to a point where they could listen to themselves running on about almost nothing important. They were missing the point and it allowed them to move in new directions. Sometimes we banter just to hear ourselves speak, like the vibration of our voices, and in time we learn to trust ourselves, when silence is like a blanket that is thrown over our heads just to prove that the lessons are not in the vocabulary but in the thoughts. |

I am sorry, I completely misread this. But, I believe you had said that you had not been hurt. You deserve better than to have been pulverized.

Grief is the price we pay for love. I think it's a bargain even though the price is high. Because it doesn't matter if we are whole and complete, when we love, everything in our lives is enriched. We reveal ourselves to ourselves -- through another's eyes and also through our own as we observe our own interactions. We learn lessons we could never learn alone. We experience joy and fun and happiness that are unique to each person we love and which we would experience in a totally different way, or not at all, without them. We experience intimacy and feelings of connection. These are all mighty blessings and, to my mind, well worth enduring the dynamic impermanance that is Life.
And while we may travel paths that look very similar to the same path we have already travelled, they are not the same paths and, even if they were, we would not be the same travellor for having travelled them (or paths like them) before. We grow from our learnings, observations and experiences, sometimes despite our every effort. So hang in there. A life of feeling is bound to be a messy business but there is more fun to be found in the flux of things, grabbing what happiness you can, enduring what disappointments you must, then in locking your Self away and trying not to experience at all. Have heart. Peace be with you. |
