Instructions for Freedom

1. Life's metaphors are God's instructions.

2. You have just climbed up and above the roof. There is nothing between you and the Infinite. Now, let go.

3. The day is ending. It's time for something that was beautiful to turn into something else that is beautiful. Now, let go.

4. Your wish for resolution was a prayer. Your being here is God's response. Let go, and watch the stars come out- on the outside, and on the inside.

5. With all your heart, ask for grace, and let go.

6. With all your heart, forgive him, FORGIVE YOURSELF, and let him go.

7. Let your intention be freedom from useless suffering. Then, let go.

8. Watch the heat of the day pass into the cool night. Let go.

9. When the karma of a relationship is done, only love remains. It's safe. Let go.

10. When the past has passed from you at last, let go. Then climb down and begin the rest of your life. With great joy.

This was taken from a great book I'm reading, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It doesn't apply to me, but in many ways it does. I knew this meant something to me, when I started reading these Instructions for Freedom, and just started crying.

Wisdom

Stand on toilet, get high on pot.

Well, This Just Makes Sense Right Now.

"If I, myself, were not delighted, what delight would I have to give?"
- Marlena de Blasi, from her nonfiction work, "The Lady in the Palazzo".

Family

So, I just saw Little Miss Sunshine. Fucking hysterical!!! Gotta love the fam. Just got to. Oh, and pushing the punchbus so that it goes fast enough for the driver to start it up in 3rd or 4th gear- while the rest of the family runs after the bus to jump in? Never gets old!! We should try that one day. I'm not kidding. How fun would that be? That's it. We're doing it in Hawaii. With Ryder and Iz pushing too.

Which leads me to Blue's Weekly Mantra:

"A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another, it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden."

- Buddha

Child's Play

Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.

- Heraclitus

ROAR.

A tiger is worth a thousand days as a sheep.

Peace

This is the way of Peace:

"Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love."
-Peace Pilgrim

Happiness

You don't know that you're unhappy, until you're happy.

MA.

Doing Nothing

In not doing.....all things are done!

(I mean, come on...that's just brilliant.)
