Many years ago I was listening to a great man giving a lecture about project management. He was brilliant at using very vivid examples and making it sound so much more cool than it actually was. Then he was talking about Cristopus Columbus and his project to travel to India. That project failed yet the question was a project a failure and after all if Columbus was a failure. I often wonder about projects. About projects in life, in our moments and in dreams. After all - where is that line?! I wonder how often do we seek for something that we desire without noticing what is there to be discovered?! When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. ~ W. A. Ward P.S.

Yesterday it was the 27th day of Ramadan. It's Night of Power and "o ne common belief is that angels will shower down the peace and blessings of God on all who remain awake during this “Night of Power"." The power of now, the power of today. It only about freedom and being true to yourself. " We won’t have a thing So we’ve got nothing to lose We can all be free Maybe not with words Maybe not with a look But with your mind" ~ Cat Power Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth's human shores, Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors-- No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for e...

Today I am learning about karma sutra and dreaming with your eyes open. About verbs without action and acoustic midnights. About inner snow and proportions. First comes the sound then the blow they didn't feel the bullet neither did I свободнo Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt [Men readily believe what they want to believe.] ~ Julius Caesar

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! ~ Alexander Pope "Eloisa to Abelard" A PRETENSE TO ONE Renee Cohen I am not every woman. I am not every man. You may well be fooled if you think you know who I am - for I am - and I am not - fixed, neither in the veil nor behind it neither in one mask or another neither in one mirror or one water neither in self nor in other. I do not have face nor security. My visibility is hungry - for recognition for food for voice... "& you won't get the job if you touch the students: that's simply not allowed" Hospital birthing, too, offers no touching support. We live in a time when one is libel for touching others. Retreating into invisibility is the master's preference for his slaves. Touching evokes feelings, becomes a shared breath... How can I hear what yo...

To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire - It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. ~ Edgar Lee Masters

Today I found out how rainy the rain can be. Even on the 26th of August.... How sweet is the sense of anticipation and peaceful curiosity. It's beautiful and promising only if you manage to embrace the change; let go the fears... God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Love is like a good weather. And rain, and wind is also some kind of good weather. *** Travel a thousand miles to save someone, to save a life, to save a day. Or night. Illusions (re)main. " - Who are you? - Not half and not whole. At some piece of ... - It's the bes - I said. - That excites the imagination. Such women are forever loved. Completed women are dull. So are monumental women. Snippets - never. " e.m.r. - Kas gi tu esi? - Ne pusė ir ne visuma. Kažkoks fragmentas... - Tai geriausia, - tariau aš. - Tai jaudina fantaziją. Tokios moterys amžinai mylimos. Užbaigtos moterys greit atsipyksta. Vertingosios irgi. Fragmentai - niekad. There's no such thing as destiny . There are only different choices . Some choices are easy , some aren't . Those are the really important ones , the ones that define us as people . ~ Number 23

They say that if you drink water from the Nile, you will always come back.

Yesterday I found out that these days and looking from our little wet planet, Mars is as big as moon and today I found out about how powerful full moon energy is. They life is for those who dare to take it all and those who believe in their dreams and work hard on that. Every day. Last night I heard this line: "Misery is easy. Happiness you have to work on". And it's true. Even if happiness is not obligatory. "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." ~ Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Thy light alone - Gives grace and truth to life's unquiet dream. ~ Percy Bysshe Shelley "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" Every life is embrace with luminous moments. It's all up to us to embrace that and to be grateful, to believe we are as we breath constantly full of power to make magic.

Dare to ask for happiness.

Life goes easy on me now. Most of the time. It takes just a little bit more patience to realise, to rise, to throw the dice. And now I know a little bit more. Just a little bit more than I thought I have forgotten. One more year. One more little step. And how funny it is to shed that skin. How funny it is to sip that gin. And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! ...

Parla Come Mangi speak the way you eat

Come, let us be friends for once; Let us make life easy on us; Let us be lovers and loved ones; The earth shall be left to no one. ~ old Sufi poem

At the first sign of indifference or lack of enthusiasm, take note! The only preventative against this disease is the realization that the soul suffers, suffers greatly, when we force it to live superficially. The soul loves all things beautiful and deep. ~ P.Coelho "Winner Stands Alone" Even if you’re doing the same thing over and over, you need to discover something new, fantastic, and unbelievable that went unnoticed the time before. ~ P.Coelho "Winner Stands Alone"

The privilege of feeling at home everywhere belongs only to kings, wolves and robbers. Honore de Balzac

...and yet letting go is what we are struggling to do over and over again. "You have to be an artist and a madman, a creature of infinite melancholy, with a bubble of hot poison in your loins and a super-voluptuous flame aglow in your subtle spine (oh, how you have to cringe and hide!), in order to discern at once, by ineffable signs—the slightly feline outline of a cheekbone, the slenderness of a downy limb, and other indices which despair and shame and tears of tenderness forbid me to tabulate—the deadly little demon among the wholesome children; she stands unrecognized by them and unconscious herself of her fantastic power." ~ Lolita, V. Nabokov
