| Bio: | Just a TellurIan --- trying to live well, put others first (when possible)... believing that physical existance will turn out to be the lowest form of knowing... aware of mortality... sometimes a catalyst... knowing that Love presents opportunities where we can choose to help and say yes... or walk away in smugness and superiority... Everything is a gift and nothing belongs to us... Once we realize that, we become a little more humble and a litte less selfish... 100 years from now there will be a whole new population on the planet... and the things we have given only to ourselves will be dead and buried or burned with us... that which we have given to others --- will shne... in some cases in ways we never could imagine... I believe my (and your) character is tested every day... and as Oscar W pointed out "Every truth involves a scandal." Things we think are secret are actually well known in the scheme of greater things... lies and deceit are not signs of great intellect --- but are indications of Karmic self abuse... I try to do everything as if a bright light is shining on me and every body sees --- because I believe that is actually the case in a Spiritual way... Sometimes I fail --- but that is why I am here... I only hope to fail upwards... learning and applying the lessons in each failure... and I know success or failure only involves my interaction with the people I meet... never with the things I have... recognizing my ability to change is also a gift... I believe that success is not a measurement of how much you have but is rather a measurement of how much you have given... in the final analysis - thought is the builder and Love is the reason |
