What I found out today. o116



Today I found out about trust, about ability to hear and inclination to listen. And once again about the fact that the world of the words can be such a confusing place to be...
Therefore I try it slowly, with tender respect. Especially for these words are not my native language.

I am also learning about intent. Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact can be shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always comes through.
Its as challenging as absolutely amazing -- we are what we think...

if I have burned my bridges, I would walk on water.

...but intent is also interpreted by the emotional belief of the reciever. If intent is good, then honesty surely must be the core of intent, and making promises one cannot keep is sure self deceipt. Every heart of Love means well in intent, though at times the receiver may percieve otherwise...based on perception...

and we still are what we think.. if reciever is expresing different emotion then it was expected that only means that reciever misunderstood intention.

...yes indeed. We cant read peoples minds. And really we all mean well, despite what our actions may be interpreted as. The art of communication and art of being understood are indeed subtly different. Good communication is always key, flow backwards and forwards, but if the flow is one way, it becomes a flood. An emotional flood...

You quoted Thurgood Marshall:

Certain people have a way of saying things that shake us at the core. Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive, the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing is the intent behind the words. When we intend to do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens. What each of us must come to realize is that our intent always ... See Morecomes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want to create. We should be honest and do it the way we feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around is to examine the reasons of our true intent.
My intent will be evident in the results.” Thurgood Marshall



"My intent will be evident in the results.” Thurgood Marshall.

So he basically by his own words he intended to destroy 50 plus million lives with abortion. I wonder what his reception at the pearly gates was like when he met them.

What I found out today. o112

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...
