Like a dove, like an angel

Like a dove, like an angel,
slipping past the fingers trying to contain
choosing the wide expanse
the clear bright sky
what will it bring, will it be better,
will it be worse, can it be worse
with the freedom gained?
How does one endure a prison of glass,
yet a prison all the same
bow one’s head and try to play the part
or defiantly break away from that which is expected
and find your own path?
Is in our nature to heed the wishes of those above
do we let ourselves be bewitched by the charisma
of the ones that spin a wheel before your eyes
yet how gullible we’ve become
that we in the end do obey…

Yes, free thought, you’re like an angel, like a dove…

On a lighter note

Sometimes you meet these people who just amaze you in all they do. That make you constantly smile and you make them smile in return. They show you that happiness lies in the smallest things.

Reminiscent of an angel, taking a dip in the azure blue ocean, washing her hair and then opening her eyes to stare you full in the face…

…and then smiles.

You know who you are. ;)

After the pebble has hit the pond, the water is calm again

Found the below tidbit on a site with regard to disturbing postings to a buddhist forum:

“It can be difficult enough to pursue the Dharma with diligence without outside interference, let alone the constant harping of those who may have another agenda, spiritual or otherwise, and/or excessive amounts of unsolicited spam hawking a continuous barrage of lower mortgage rates, enlarging certain body parts, and viewing live cam shots of a variety of body orifices left unnamed.”

I found it aptly worded and definitely funny… :)

A beautiful rendition of a Zen nun:

In Remembrance…

Кто знает закон Бытия,
Помог бы и мне найти ответ.
Жестоко ошибся я:
От смерти лекарства нет.

He who knows the Law of Genesis
would have helped me to find the answer
I was cruelly mistaken:
there is no medicine for death

We’re going to the movies…

Something that always gets me kind of grouchy is the fact that so-called criticts of movies call a movie trash just because it doesn’t appeal to their ‘sophisticated’ level.

Hey pal, here’s something for you: I don’t care!

Some movies are just meant to be pure entertainment and if I want to see Alien versus Predator I will!
Not every movie has to be built upon an epos like The Lord of the Rings and subsequently worked out with due dilligence for a number of years. If every trance musician was a conservatorium graduated person I doubt the current club scene would look like it does right now.

I just don’t understand why something has to be ‘artistically innovative’ to be appreciated by the critics. Guess they’re just trying to uphold their own jobs by keeping up appearances (which is not unlike any other job niche, mind you).

Four Seasons of Loneliness…

Sometimes, some songs just ring so true…

This loneliness
has crushed my heart,
please let me love again
’cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain
or four seasons will bring the loneliness again…

Four Seasons of Loneliness by Boyz II Men

I have watched the last half of winter thaw, seen spring go by, summer fleeting by so fast, autumn quickly approaching…

A Gaian Dawn

I printed this from a website many years ago and I still love it:

I saw the immense beauty of the twinkling stars;
like countless diamonds on an inky cloak
of inaccessible and inscrutable depths.
The sparkling stars dim and gracefully recede.
The morning star preaches about the coming light;
an epoch of uproar and change,
an epoch of progress and enlightenment.
The dark night on a furious retreat from a battle lost.
The divine morning sun rises in a magnificent battle dress
of smouldering red, orange, and yellow.

Now, godspeed traveller…
