Find A Balance
Don't spend so much time finding the right bait that you don't know what to do once you catch her.

From Movement - Ride
Sometimes the best thing to do. Is nothing at all.
Think like a surfer. You don't paddle out everywhere.
You wait.
You wade.
You wait for the right wave.
Then you ride it.
It's not filling our lives with something that makes us happy.
It's about accepting the things that we do have, and riding it.
True friendship is a wave you can't find.
It's something that comes to you.

Life Is.
RAMBLING:
It's an uncomfortable position to be in if your flow of thoughts becomes unbalanced- where you can't articulate as fast as your mind can analyze them. And whatever you can't articulate simply shows you just don't understand completely what it is that you're trying to analyze. And if you're a constant thinker, then you're bound to be left with a bunch of unprocessed thoughts.
It is as if you've become a ghost to your own reality.
Unprocessed thoughts yield lingering questions.
Lingering questions hinders the progress of your spiritual growth.
Questions linger because they seem to be unresolvable.
But in the scope of it all, are these questions that life brings worth stunting our growth, missing our opportunity to mature, or refusing the gift of Being?
For the sake of your own progression, let them all go. Let the quarrels of life simply... be.
It was a Psycho that told me the only rational way to describe Life: It is.
Life Is.
The message is simple. The way it should be delivered. To be at peace with your thoughts may deliver you from complication.
Isn't it, though, a complicated effort to maintain this simple belief? ;)
I suppose you get better at it over time.

From Jammin'
"What's your perspective, friend?
There's a Peanuts cartoon where Linus is curled up very quietly reading a book in a corner, and Lucy is standing in the background with a very funny fishy look on her face. And she turns and says to Linus, "It's very strange, it happens just by looking at you."
Linus turns around and asks, "What happens?"
Lucy, "I can feel a criticism coming on."
Apart from God's perspective, that is all you will feel coming on.
Your problem and my problem, it's not a critical/analytical thing. It's not because you're educated, it's not because you're Asian or not. It's not a East Coast thing or West Coast thing. It's not a cultural thing, it's not a biological thing. It's a sinful thing. All you feel is a criticism coming on.
Friend, when you and I look upon other people. When you think about the one who has hurt you the most, and all you see are the corrections to be made, you are lacking God's perspective. The proud, and therefore insecure, have a really difficult time, almost unable to identify and call out evidence of grace in other people because you're too preoccupied to inflate yourself. But God's perspective that rushes right through Apostle Paul shows you something altogether beautiful and different."
Pastor Harold, from Cerritos Presbyterian Church, going over 1 Corinthians: 1-9
my, my isn't this true?
[Thanks Jammin']

From BRICKS
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny."

To My Spiritual Master
I don't remember where I found this, but it was on a post-it note I had for a while. Things appear right in front of your eyes when your soul truly wishes for them.
"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master…"

Why Do I Love the Rain?
So that I could learn to appreciate more the sounds of the birds chirping after the storm.
"The Lover Loves Truth"
I did a tarot card reading last weekend and this is what the cards told me:
The Lover - Loves - Truth
"You are surrounded by possibilities for pleasure. Enjoy the moment with all you find attractive and learn what love is. Find someone with whom you want nothing less than to spend life together. To achieve this, examine all motives with brutal honesty. Even if the truth hurts, admit it and work hard to accept its lesson."
Love's gentle power you'll attract
with graceful manners, charm, and tact.
You'll find true love by working less
and smiling more to look your best.
Enjoy yourself and celebrate
the one you're with may be your mate.
You'll know your love is real and true
when making love means something new
when holding hands or sharing hugs
can satisfy your need for love.
Until you both feel this is true
it's just romance, not love for you.
Tell the truth but listen, too
when others tell the truth to you.
The gift Truth brings to those who care
the special trust that soul mates share.
If one you love tells you a lie,
give one more chance, then say
"goodbye."

No More Dreaming For Me, Too.
My daily reminder that everything starts with an idea and if you truly want it, you will have it.
(I won't expect a response.)
