Words about me from people I love

Canela Rocks. Let it be known.

My friend. I am thankful she has found me interesting enough to be friends. She's walking her own path, rather, she's carving a new path, spreading light and wisdom along the way. Many will follow this new path, and continue the legacy she has already begun. She is unafraid to be the only one with an opposing opinion, and *express* it. She is warmly attentive to those she considers friends, and it's genuine. I feel her unconditional, fierce loyalty from the other side of the Earth.
She's funny, almost dangerously witty...you have to be on your A game to see the humor behind the cerebral words of wisdom.
She's kind. Encouraging, and finds the good in people until she's given a reason to believe, otherwise. I just adore her. She's a breath of fresh air, like spring rain cleans the air...nice and clean and refreshing. Nothing compares to her, and that's why I love her!

Astrid says what she thinks, no holds barred.
She's well informed, witty, and forever ready to jump dead center on false assumptions.
She will make you think.

I just checked out Astrid's Aala Dameeti performance part 1 and 2 and I love the way she has her own style and interprets the music. She's very womanly and sensual and-it sounds corny-but after watching the videos I actually had a tear. The Japanese people there seem so appreciative of her sharing her art-it's intimate and heartening. Belly dance used to be this way a lot, each woman her own style, a lot now, too much alike. The music is very nice as well.

Keep on dancin' Astrid!

"If you were a weed...

which weed would you be?" I was asked today on the Herbal wisdom tribe. What came to mind was this simple German wildflower growing in the forests...Anemone nemorosa.

Welcome to Tarçınıstan! _ Blog

high definition photos of the destroyed nuclear reactors in Fukushima. You can see what a total mess this place is, it looks like something that's been bombed, almost, with a bit of smoke rising from the ruins...

500.000 people losing their home being just one of them...
Sometimes I wonder why some friends are so completely oblivious to what is going on here.

And now we have a plutonium leak.

The temperatures are:

Reactor 1 - 58 degrees

Reactor 2 - 35 degrees

Reactor 3 - 62 degrees

Reactor 4 - 42 degrees

Reactor 5 - 24 degrees

Reactor 6 - 25 degrees.

The temperature above the containment vessel itself of Reactor 3 is 128 degrees, but this is not cause for concern, he says.

Words to live by, even years later

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do...explore, dream, discover."
Mark Twain

Madame Michel has the elegance of the hedgehog: on the outside, she's covered in quills, a real fortress, but my gut feeling is that on the inside, she has the simple refinement as the hedgehog: a deceptively indolent little creature, fiercely solitary- and terribly elegant.
Muriel Barbery

"She was what attracts me more than anyting else: a rebel. What a delight to find someone who is truly himself , who rejects prejudice, servitude, banality, and who moves through life as freely as a bird through the air."
Lyautey about Isabelle Eberhard. from: "The oblivion seekers" by Isabelle Eberhard

a gift from a poet

there is a deep n
subtle longing
in your motions
there is desire behind the words
body
beyond
the concepts
in that body
there is
a intensive being
fire
in that fire of you
one need to burn
and by burning in you
touch you deeply . . .


love,
Shervin

Dance, Lalla...abandon yourself

Dance, Lalla, with nothing on
but air. Sing, Lalla,
wearing the sky.

Look at the glowing day! What clothes
could be so beautiful, or
more sacred?


poem by Lalla, 14th century, Kashmir

about me
Who Says Words With My Mouth?


All day I think about it,
then at night I say it.

Where did I come from,
and what am I supposed to be doing?

I have no idea.

My soul is from elsewhere,
I'm sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.

This drunkenness
began in some other tavern.

When I get back around
to that place,
I'll be completely sober.

Meanwhile, I'm like a bird
from another continent,
sitting in this aviary.

The day is coming when I fly off,
but who is it now in my ear
who hears my voice?

Who says words with my mouth?

Who looks out with my eyes?

What is the soul?


I cannot stop asking.


If I could taste
one sip of an answer,
I could break out
of this prison for drunks.

I didn't come here of my own accord,
and I can't leave that way.

Whoever brought me here
will have to take me home.

This poetry,

I never know
what I'm going to say.

I don't plan it.

When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet
and rarely speak at all.
