i do not even have the words...again!!! :)
quite a few times i tried to sit down and translate this experience...
i feel i am not expressive enough when it comes to words, but i will try.
what a crazy week! its hard to believe that my time here is almost done.
the weather has been unreal... hot but dry...waking dreams.
the sky is so expansive, you can SEE forever...
and if you just watch, it tells the truest story of our existence here.
the trees here are very loyal friends.
provide shade from the brightest light
and hold wisdom deep in their roots if you just listen.
i respect how they always look up to the sky.
the nature of things is the most beautiful music ever.

You represent... hope.
You're quite a daydreamer and can be a hopeless
romantic. You enjoy being creative and don't
mind being alone at times. You have goals, and
know what you want in life... even if they are
a little far fetched.
What feeling do you represent?

A fundamentalist is anyone who thinks his belief system trumps all others. Religious fanatics are the most obvious example, but scientists can be fundamentalists. So can socialists or capitalists, environmentalists or atheists. Every fundamentalist divides the world into two camps, those who agree with him and those who don't. To him, there is one right way and a million wrong ways to interpret reality. Now here's the uncomfortable news: Every one of us has the fundamentalist virus. It may not be as virulent in you and me as it is in the bad guys we love to hate. But we're all infected. Luckily, Virgo, you're in an astrological phase when you can achieve a partial cure. To begin, take everything less seriously and less personally and less literally.

woke up this morning... after another night of restless sleep, unhappy.
i am in desperate need of inspiration, it was nice to wake up to this:
2. LETTING GO OF COMPARISONS
We cannot know the Tao itself,
nor see its qualities direct,
but only see by differentiation,
that which it manifests.
Thus, that which is seen as beautiful
is beautiful compared with that
which is seen as lacking beauty;
an action considered skilled
is so considered in comparison
with another, which seems unskilled.
That which a person knows he has
is known to him by that which he does not have,
and that which he considers difficult
seems so because of that which he can do with ease.
One thing seems long by comparison with that
which is, comparatively, short.
One thing is high because another thing is low;
only when sound ceases is quietness known,
and that which leads
is seen to lead only by being followed.
In comparison, the sage,
in harmony with the Tao,
needs no comparisons,
and when he makes them, knows
that comparisons are judgements,
and just as relative to he who makes them,
and to the situation,
as they are to that on which
the judgement has been made.
Through his experience,
the sage becomes aware that all things change,
and that he who seems to lead,
might also, in another situation, follow.
So he does nothing; he neither leads nor follows.
That which he does is neither big nor small;
without intent, it is neither difficult,
nor done with ease.
His task completed, he then lets go of it;
seeking no credit, he cannot be discredited.
Thus, his teaching lasts for ever,
and he is held in high esteem.
must remember to be mindful.
must try to remember that these bad feelings are just an illusion
(no matter how real they feel)
and that things will get better...

have you ever wanted something so bad
that when you finally got it you realised it wasnt what you wanted after all?
thats certainly how i am feeling today.
i am so homesick, its making me sick.
all i want to do is curl up with cutie, but he isnt here.
i cant believe i didnt say goodbye to anyone i cared about before i left.
i cant believe i fooled myself into believing that i was going on a vacation,
so id have the balls to get on the plane.
i had no idea that living in europe would be so fucking hard.
i am in some kind of shock or something... i dunno.
i find myself reaching out to my life at home...and it doesnt exist here.
i am tired of turning corners on streets,
and seeing people that i think are friends of mine...
but turn out to be strangers.
i have faith that it is going to get better,
once i have a routine...and left with less time to think.
i feel transparent here.
wide open.
the energy of this place is indescribable.
this is a country of extremes...and in no particular order.

"It is strange to be here. The mystery never leaves you alone. Behind your image, below your words, above your thoughts, the silence of another world awaits. A world lives within you. No-one else can bring you news of this inner world. Through our voices, we bring out sounds from the mountain beneath the soul. These sounds are words. The world is full of words. There are so many talking all the time, loudly, quietly, in rooms, on streets, on TV, on radio, in the paper, in books. The noise of words keeps what we call the world there for us. We take each other´s sounds and make patterns, predictions, benedictions and blasphemies. Each day, our tribe of language holds what we call the "world" together. Yet the uttering of the word reveals how each of us relentlessly creates. Everyone is an artist. Each person brings sound out of silence and coaxes the invisible to become visible."
(from the prologue of anam cara*: spiritual wisdom from the celtic world)
*soul friend.
i am here now.
we are clay.
