Monkhood?

A monk? Who?  Me??? I doubt that I am made to play that part in this lifetime...

A lot of people had been asking me if and when I am going to become a monk and that makes me wonder if I seem like I am meant to become one.  I am not worthy... And if I would have to rely on the visions I have had since I was a kid, I will not be able to fulfill them if I were to become a monk...

I am not worthy...

Love

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

I Am I

You do your thing and I do mine.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to mine

I am I and You are You,
And if we should meet it will be beautiful,
And if not, it cannot be helped.


This is the real deal... quoted from Frederick "Fritz" Perls - the pioneer of Gestalt Therapy

“I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.”

And Now, There Are Three

I am now a member of the three orders... Jai Ra! So Mote It Be! Cro Maat!

We Are All Connected

We are all connected... You may believe it or not but you can't deny that every move you make has an effect in The Universe. 


I came across these lines from two memorable people... I don't know if you will acknowledge what they said but I do.

The earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites one family. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself.

--allegedly said by Chief Seattle, Chief of the Suquamish Indians



All life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality.

--Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Laureate and Civil Rights Activist

On Friendship - Kahlil Gibran

Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.


When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.


And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Another Soul Sister?

C is one of my newest friends in the orders and I have never expected that we will click right away.  Talked with her and S after the convo and I have never expected that we have so much in common.  Were we related in a previous life?  I am not really sure but something tells me we knew each other well...
