if you were a judge, what sort would you be?

Posted on Jul 3rd, 2009 by Mila : adventurer Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 03, 2009:

If I had a choice, I wouldn't be a judge. I don't find the justice system as it is a place I can be myself.  But then again I may be wrong in judging myself.

Nature

I feel free whenever I'm close to nature, and that would be most of the time, if not everytime.  Nature is life, life is nature.  To live is to be free.

Path of adventure

Posted on Jun 24th, 2009 by Mila : adventurer Mila
This resonated with me and I hope you'll find it so too!

Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white. - Mark Jenkins

The magic of synchronicity!

Here's an interesting read about the subject

http://www.intentblog.com/archives/2007/03/hqr_burden_of_p.html

"The Police" had an interesting set of lyrics within "Synchronicity":

With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance, a dream dance,
A shared romance,
Synchronicity

A connecting principle,
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible.
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible.

If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi.

If you act, as you think,
The missing link,
Synchronicity.

We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity.

A star fall, a phone call,
It joins all,
Synchronicity.

It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity.

Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
Synchronicity...

Artistic Impression of Synchronicity - I

India hs a similar concept, called auspicious coincidence (The Sanskrit word is Pratitya-Samutpada) and/or interdependent co-origination; strongly hinting at the basic definition of synchronicity as a coming together of several factors which, in concert, give rise to a certain situation.

The term "synchronicity" is viewed as the term "coincidence" by those who do not find themselves perceptually within the flow of Consciousness.

With the basic frequency of the environment of the universe increasing, the concept of synchronicity is very important, because the ongoing perception of it is a "marker" of the relationship between one's consciousness and the subjective reality one perceives.

All the places you will go...

Posted on Jun 24th, 2009 by Mila : adventurer Mila
Excerpts from Dr. Seuss' "Oh, All the Places You will Go"

This was passed on by a friend friend whom I recently met online and I felt like sharing its uplfiting and inspiring vibes.

 I found the message timely (and I enjoyed the rhythmic fun of it) as it came when I was still debating in my mind whether to consider a challenging and rewarding full-time job or get on with my enterprise.  I chose the latter of cousrse.

(Read it out loud to have fun with the rhyme)

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places.
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decided where to go.

Oh All the places you will go!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heighs.

................

Except when you don't.
Because sometimes they won't
I'm afraid that some times you'll play lone games too.
Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.

All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

But on you will go though the weather be foul
On you will go through the Hakken-Kraka howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike.
And I know you'll hike far and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

And will you succeed?
Yes! You will indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So... get on your way!

Wandering thoughts, not sensing the life in my body, getting impatient can take me away from my present moment.

Fractal
Each one's reason for being lies deep within so it's a matter of going deeper, listening, then traversing one's spiritual path.

How do you share what you've learned?

Posted on Jun 15th, 2009 by Mila : adventurer Mila
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 15, 2009:

By just being me when I interact with others, they could pick up some learning that I might not intentionally be teaching them. I may get to learn that I passed on some wisdom when they tell me so, but it doesn't really matter even if I don't get to know.  What matters is that learning never stops for everyone.  There's so much to learn in life and beyond.  And we all learn something from one another when we interact mindfully.

A budding poet and skateboarder

Posted on Jun 13th, 2009 by Mila : adventurer Mila
002

When I go rolling on my skateboard,

I feel the wind blow on my face.

My body glides along in freedom,

And then my foot keeps up the pace.

I must lean just right to make the curve,

Then get my balance back on track.

I look for the chance to do a trick,

I start the move….no turning back.

I catch the air and do a kick-flip,

The board goes round and meets my feet.

I get anxious as I start a trick,

But glad it's ended safe and neat.

My board becomes part of my body,

I cannot be whole without it.

What if it breaks and leaves me stranded?

How can I get there? ……..I’ll just sit!
