The Fountain

They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies

Wake up and Dream...

We are more curious about the meaning of dreams that about things we see when awake.

The devil you know...

"The moment the invaders entered our world, breathed our air, drank our water, they were doomed. For where Mans weapons failed, succeeded the tiniest of creatures with whom Man obtained the sole right to live with the sacrifice of a billion deaths, For it is said no Man lives or dies in vain."

Thank you for the miracle...




A church dedicated to St. Mavra can be found on the island of Zakynthos, Greece. St. Mavra's miracle-working icon is located there. The icon was originally from Egypt. In Zakynthos, a shepherd had found the icon in a small ravine when he saw a bright light emanating from the area. Three times he took the icon with great reverence back to his village but each time it would miraculously return to the spot where he had found it. It was determined that it should be left there and a church should be built on that spot, where it still stands today (the village of Maherado).

ग्रास्पिंग अत स्ट्रास...

How shall I grasp it? Do not grasp it. That which remains when there is no more grasping is the Self.

I don't mind, cuz I don't matter...

From the Gospel of Mary Magdalene

Attachment to matter gives rise to passion against nature.
Thus trouble arises in the whole body;
this is why I tell you:
'Be in harmony...'
If you are out of balance,
take inspiration from manifestations
of your true nature.

From the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism:

#2 Suffering is caused by craving or attachments to worldly pleasures of all kinds. This is often expressed as a deluded clinging to a certain sense of existence, to selfhood, or to the things or phenomena that we consider the cause of happiness or unhappiness.

#3 Suffering ends when craving ends, when one is freed from desire. This is achieved by eliminating all delusion, thereby reaching a liberated state of Enlightenment (bodhi);

"Blessed is the one who has suffered...

...that one has found life"

Jesus.

Lost Principles of Science...

The first, that we not so place our felicity (happiness) in knowledge as we forget our mortality; the second, that we make application of knowledge to give ourselves repose and contentment and not distaste or repining (yearning); the third, that we do not presume by contemplations of nature to attain the mysteries of God.

Francis Bacon
