What I found out today. o40



There are some perfect nights. Some absolutely amazingly perfect nights that wake up the archetypical understanding and memories of the unknown that you are so aware of.

Since I was very little I was never scared of thunder or strom. I was never very scared of all the mess sky and earth can look like. It was always waking up the feeling of unknown though. I was always looking for answers and feeling closer to the sky at that point.
"Our bodies know they belong; it is our minds that make our lives so homeless."
~ John O'Donhue, Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong, page 3



To be honest I never actually event got to thinking of it. It's been forever I've heard thunder.
Up until tonight. It made me listen. According to Sylvia Plath - as still as an eye of tornado must feel....

And yet, today I found out ---

"The hunger to belong is not merely a desire to be attached to something. It is rather sensing that great transformation and discovery become possible when belonging is sheltered and true."
~ John O'Donhue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom, page 22

There are many things in life that you must learn over and over again. Like walking. And somehow in those moments you don't really care you've done it before, it comes to you again and it feels as exciting as it was before. Or even more! Even Hemingway said, " All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time. " There is always more than meets the eye. There is always more than we dare to admit. And it's amazing. Amazing to challenge your own limitation and your own walls (either way if they are walls in or walls out). Amazing things happen to you when you let them happen. When you walk right into the room full of unknown people and don't feel fear. I am learning to accept chaos. (Although I am not entirely sure whether it accepts me.) I have learned lately that any kind of fear might be just worthy to walk straight into. It's like playing a computer game only not being as reckless! Although I dont think that death is th...

When you decide to do something brilliant, profound and simply amazing and everything is going smoothly, what is that moment when you start wondering -- where is the catch?!. There must be something. Where is the dude you call Murphy with his laws?!.... Or maybe, just maybe, things can go smooth...?!.

There was a time in my life where I learned a very important lesson. There was a time I learned that by loosing everything I had so much more left. So much more to see, to treasure and to be. I was remembering today those days when we were once kinds, when we use d to build up some amazing things out of any simple daily objects and it would make us happiest people in the world. We would build castles, space ships, even countries and new galaxies and then once mother would call for dinner we would as easily dismount it all again to be ready for something else next time. I wonder, wasn't it much easier then to learn same lessons of letting go. I don't remember much of my childhood. Probably since the time they cut my wings but I do remember that then it was so much easier to who you really are in that moment -- a performer, Cleopatra, a pilot of a space ship, a hunter, a doctor, a princess... even if until dinner time or for a moment. And therefore I keep remembering that growi...
